Miller Lite was officially launched in 1975, around the time baby boomers were dating, coupling, marrying and copulating (though not always in that order). As this new ad points out, this could hypothetically have led to your conception when your parents did it, probably under the influence.

It doesn't specifically say that. It more says that Lite beer let men keep their abs, which let them get dates, which led to marriages, which led to honeymoons, which led to you.
