Light Beer Makes Me Sleep Badly

I don’t think I would have ever realized this if my father-in-law hadn’t said anything, but it’s true: light beer fucks with my sleep.  Something in the reduced caloric intake, it just makes me toss and turn and sleep restlessly.

My father-in-law confessed that it gives him nightmares — light beer nightmares.  Maybe that’s what it is.  I’m tossing and turning trying to evade the dreaded light-beer-opolous before I find myself giving a speech only wearing my light-beer-briefs (OMG, they’re cold).  I wish I’d remember the dreams.

And it doesn’t happen with anything else — wine, booze, stout, porter, cocktails, car-bombs — nothing else does it.  What gives?  Am we the only ones?
