Because they have been so overloaded with advertising by light beer manufacturers that they don't know any different. The only really good light beer in America is Sam Adams.

Well I guess another question to ask is why do Americans think Yamashiro serves good sushi? Or why do Americans think Olive Garden is a great Italian joint?
The reason why they drink beer is to get drunk.
The same as the only reason why they eat at Claim Jumpers is to get full.
It's not about quality, it's about quantity.
That's why the obesity rate is so high in this country.
I hate lite beer.
And I'm astonished at how many of my fellow Americans actually would rather drink a bud lite than a Sam Adam Boston Lager. It's madness!
Not all Americans just some. But sometimes I'm not sure.

No American I know loves lite beer, but many Americans I know try to cut back a bit on calorie and/or carb intake. Lite beer == a cold drink with alcohol, and fewer calories and carbs.
Just have to live with the lousy taste.
For me, rather have fewer good beers than more lite beer.

I mean, it's not even spelled correctly. What else does it have in common with beer? Nada.
There's an entire world of beer out there. Don't stick to the boring mainstream brands, experiment.

Same reason they like white bread. They've been dumbed down by the advertisers away from their European immigrant customs where food tastes were rich. Behind that is the real reason: rich-tasting food costs too much for the multi-nationals to produce and still profit.

same reason why we love "diet" sodas. we want fun and we want to overindulge ourselves with food, but we want to lose weight. so lite beer and diet coke should help out.

You can drink more & more if you don't like the full flavor all at once.

Probably because it is less carbs and calories.
