Corona is a light(er) beer, which I agree is a good option during the day. However, wouldn't a lime do the same for a Coors Lite, Bud Lite, etc.?
BTW if the lime is truly to keep the flies away, then why is the custom to add the lime where no flies are? I can't speak for Mexico, but So California is not know to be plagued by flies, at least no to the extend it puts your beer at risk. On the flip side, if it was, wouldn't all bar keepers be using this trick for all beers......or are flies only targeting Mexican beers.
