Interesting question Gary. I'd say a light beer in the UK refers to a lower alcohol content, not a lower calorie content.why do we have diet soda, diet meals, diet candy, but light beer? Why not "Diet Beer"?
Good sketch tho

Thanks for that, egg.
Reduced alcohol content is also part of the "light" claim here in the USA, but it's sold as a "less filling" drink because there are also less carbohydrates...which is part and parcel of less alcohol.
But in the final reel, the US breweries (foreign-owned, but still on US soil!) feel the term "diet" is synonymous with a sissy drink, thus the fudge term "light".
My Best,
Gary
