August 17, 200818 yr Unless your a poor college student I couldn't agree more. I remember back in college about 13 years ago, our local Hucks had Old MIl. for 5.99 a case. Me and my roommate did not have much money so bought it and drank it. The next morning or should I say afternoon was not pretty. In my college days, it was Falls City for $5.25 a case. You had to sign a release agreement that you wouldnt sue after you drank it, :laugh::laugh:!!
August 17, 200818 yr My girlfriend is bad about buying cheap liquour. It's just not worth it. She'll buy some rock gut whiskey and mix it with coke all night. I'm trying to break her of it but shes putting up a good fight. If you're drinking liquour there's no reason to ruin it with a mixer. Buy something top shelf and pour it over ice. It doesn't get any better. I'll give a little with beer. I don't mind bud or miller. I've had one PBR and one Natural Light in my life and hated them both. I'm not much of a beer drinker though. Never have been. I never have just a beer or two with my meals. If I've got a beer or any type of drink in my hand, it's with one purpose in mind....
August 17, 200818 yr I am normally to cheap to buy any beer that rounds out to over .50 cents a beer (:lol:) but I am breaking out of my shell. Last night, I had Shock Top (Anheiser-Busch, but Belgian-style) which is excellent. I also grabbed Amberbock and wasn't too impressed.
August 17, 200818 yr It pains me to see beer, any beer, bashed in such a way. Even bad beer needs love.
August 17, 200818 yr I am not a poor college student anymore and I still like my Natty Light. That is the best of the cheap beer.
August 17, 200818 yr It's the classic argument, do you drink for taste or drink to 'feel good'? I drink for taste and "to feel good" the next day.
August 17, 200818 yr It's the classic argument, do you drink for taste or drink to 'feel good'? If you're drinking to get drunk then I can't imagine why you would drink beer. Hard liquor gets the job done faster and with less excess stuff. It's inefficient to drink to get drunk otherwise. Thing is though, I have awasy been a pragmatist, so my views wil be diametrically different from most college types.

But, if you must have beer, the better beers (grades above Bud/Miller/Coors) tend to have higher alcohol content, so you're getting better taste and getting to the finish line quicker.
August 17, 200818 yr For what it's worth, it should be noted that PepRock is just a straight up snob about his alcohol and movies. You could've stopped there. :lol:

The mixed drink comes with the stigma of being girly, and a lot of college kids have a problem drinking straight liquor. I have never had that problem- is that a good or bad thing? :lol: The only real reason to drink cheap beer over cheap liquor is for drinking games, because those can get very dangerous if you attempt to play them with the hard stuff

August 18, 200818 yr My buddy loves drinking PBR and STrohs over at a little hole in the wall in Newport. The owner buys like 2 cases a month of Strohs and he is the only one that buys it. Horrible BEER. PBR is sweet with a bad aftertaste. I like Coors light cuz its from the Rockies.

The end result told me all I needed to know about doing it again! Frankly they just need to adjust. :lol: To the last point, I can't really argue there.
