You made it through Dry January, but perhaps want to keep things light for a bit.

Enter Bud Light Next, a super crisp light beer with the stats of a seltzer.

At zero carbs and only 80 calories, Bud Light Next breaks the barriers of a traditional lager.

It's made with natural flavors and ingredients like malted barley and rice, and clocks in at 4% ABV — so what we're hearing is it's very easy to have more than one.

This groundbreaking, zero-carb beer is nearly 10 years in the making, meaning that the Bud Light brewers made sure to get it just right before we could get our hands on it.

With a slight citrus note on the end, Bud Light Next might just become your new favorite beer.

With spring moving in, bringing nice days back to Dallas, one's thoughts turn to happy hour, to finding the latest places to grab a budget sip. This March edition of Where to Drink in Dallas consists of five restaurants with bars that have all recently introduced new happy hour offerings, featuring marked-down cocktails with snacks on the side.

Here are the five best new happy hours for March:

DeEva Kitchen & Bar
Plano mom-and-pop — formerly known as Mio Italian Kitchen, and before that, Cafe Amore — has two discount drink opportunities. Every Wednesday, they offer happy hour all day with $5 beers, $5 house wines, $10 cocktails, and $10 appetizers. Every Thursday, they offer select bottles of wine at half-price, such as Hess Cabernet for $25. They also host live music; on Saturday March 7, it'll be Larry Johnson and his Rat Pack-style repertoire.

D.L. Mack’s
For the newest happy hour in town, it doesn't get any fresher than this Chicago-inspired tavern, which just opened on March 4 at West Village in the former Midici space at 3699 McKinney Ave. #106, where it's serving its trademark cracker crust pizzas and American fare. Happy hour is daily from 4-6 pm at the bar, featuring $10 martinis and half-price wine. This is the third D.L. Mack's, joining locations in Preston Hollow and Highland Park.
