That is pretty much an acquired taste.

Do yourself a favor if going to try Guinness. Go to a bar that has it on tap and does a slow pour. It used to be that you had to do a slow pour or you could not serve it. But with all the impatient yuppies that couldn't wait, they decided to allow the quick pour. It is not the same thing.
Re: the waistline.
Many years ago I was a devout Bud drinker. Swore by it. When I was in my late 20's I worked out every other day and had put myself on a low carb, high protein diet.
Of course, this meant I was going to have to find a substitute if I ever wanted to drink beer again. There were limited "lite" beers available. Bud and Coors I believe were the first.
Being a Bud man there was no way in hell I was going to drink Coors anything, and Bud Lite was terrible. Plus the carbs were pretty high. I checked out this new beer, Miller Lite.
The commercials were right, it did taste great and it was less filling. It also was the lowest in carbs.
However, it isn't really the beer you have to worry about as much as it is the snacking many feel the need to do when drinking it.
