Coronas a nice light beer when i just want something to drink that isn't water or soda. The beer i like the most at the moment is Maudite, but it's a strong beer and i don't always want to drink it.

I recommend Tecate, then.  Fairly light.  Good flavor.  Far better than Corona.

And, for whatever it's worth, the way I've always had Tecate served in Mexico was in a can, with salt and a lime. 

Corona is like making love in a canoe.

My choice of a lighter beer nowadays is Harps. I used to drink Dos Equis back in the day.

Better yet, what's the story with willingly drinking Corona? 

Negra Modelo, sí.  Dos Equis, sí.  Tecate, sí.  ¿Corona?  No bebería esa con su hígado.

I've never tried tecate but the other two are different styles of beer, so suited for different situations.

I'll willingly drink corona, so long as I'm not paying for it.

The lime is key.

Corona is a nice beer to have at the end of a hot day.

I tend to like a good Pale Ale when I just want a beer, or am at a bar, or eating a meal.

Listen, Justine...forget these guys!

Squeeze the lime juice into the beer. You can push the wedge into the bottle then, if you want.
It taste good!
I drink Corona light at home without the lime, that's too much trouble to cut up a lime to just down a cold one, but at a resturaunt or bar, I want the lime...is good!

I'll take my beer with tomato juice in it.

I've been told that when you push the lime in they can't reuse or recycle the bottle.

?
I imagine that lime gets vaporized during recycling.

I've tended bar for a few years both out west and on the east coast and have never seen or heard of a bartender care what you do with the lime, as long as you don't throw it at any one. Of course if you tip enough...

I personally like Corona.  I am one of the people who pushes the lime wedge right into the bottle.  And then I spend the rest of the evening telling all the beer snobs around me to smurf off.  What is it about Corona that brings the beer snobs swarming out of the woodwork?  Whenever I drink it, I get a lot of the comments that have already been stated.

Mainly, I get the, "No one in Mexico drinks Corona."  "Corona is the Bud Light of Mexican beer."  "Here are a bunch of more expensive Mexican beers that you should drink instead."  "Mexicans make fun of stupid gringos who drink Corona."  Listen, jerkface.  I'm not drinking it because it's Mexican, nor do I care what you or your Mexican buddies think.  I've tried the other options you just named, and didn't like them as much.

The point is, don't drink your beer based on other people's opinions.  Try stuff, and if you like it, drink more of it.  End of story.

Also, I've found that beer snobs are usually the first people in line to make fun of wine snobs.  Just an observation.
