Re: What's Your Drink?
it's funny to look back at college, and realize the horrid crap we would drink because it was all we could afford...
in my day, Natty Light was the cheap beer of choice...i believe we'd pay like 7/case for a party (local beer store ran 10 case specials, and Natty was always 70/10 cases)...
however, i was a sophisticated beer snob (and still am), and instituted a tradition my brothers continue today...Import Night. once a week, we'd get together to drink and hang out together...except, the beer you bought had to be foreign or a microbrew...which for a 6 pack was usually the same price as a case of cheap beer. this way, you could see the advantages of hanging out to drink, but not get totally shitfaced.
this past year, my fraternity brothers complained because Natty was up to 10/case...so now they partake in an infamous Maryland pastime called National Bohemian (or Natty Boh) because it's cheaper...i refuse to drink Natty Boh because they stopped selling it in the older jug bottles (think Red Stripe).
the cheap beer i partake in these days (besides your run of the mill Bud Light, Miller Lite, etc) is Pabst Blue Ribbon. It's actually not too bad...not like it used to be.
