...turned out copy ("We must be doing something right") for the company's Rheingold brand. For Gablinger's, Doyle Dane makes the point that a bottle of ordinary beer has a carbohydrate content equivalent to that of a slice of bread, but Gablinger's drinkers can "save the bread for a sandwich . . . where it belongs...
