Heineken Light is for those who want to stay light so they can say yes to everything, without having to choose or make decisions. A new generation believes that the lighter you are, the more choices you have: the WHY NOT generation. And this is a day in the life of a WHY NOT man and woman; a day when not choosing is celebrated by embracing all the opportunities that life has to offer. Heineken Light: live hard, drink light.
