Drinking a nice blue and white can of beer with snowy mountains on it right now....

No beer snob here. BTW, I drank probably 15 cups of kegged Bud Light Saturday night. I couldn't speak by the end of the night. :razz:

Why not? As long as it's ice cold it actually tastes pretty good! Especially after a 2 hour bike ride.

Enter Marc in 3...2...1... explaining, in some scientific manner, why beer that has to be ice cold to taste good should somehow make it less than the enjoyable experience it is.

The bottom line for me is that ice cold shwag beer that's easy to drink in the summer to me tastes good. And for less than 2 bucks, pounding 3 of them gives you that great initial beer buzz. I don't get the shwag-hate. :)

Can't drink it anymore. Went to a wedding 2 weeks ago. After a night of drinking at the reception I went to an after party in one of the hotel rooms. All they had was a bunch of Bud Light. It tasted like crap and I was already drunk! Didn't finish it. Lesson learned. Just sticking to good stuff for now.

In honor of this thread, I think I'll pick up a 6-er of PBR this weekend.

I don't get it because you have to drink more, IMHO, to get the same experience as less of the better stuff. Dollar wise, it's probably the same cost in the end. But I'd have to drink a whole six pack of Rolling Rock, for example, to get the same feel from just 1 or 2 of the good stuff. I'd rather drink the good stuff. Life is too short.

By alcohol content, the ratio is probably more like 1.5 or maybe 2:1, not 6:1 or 6:2. I don't know, shwag is just easier for me to drink over a longer period than the "good stuff". I could drink a bunch on a sunny afternoon and not get a headache if I stopped for a while (except for straight Budweiser). I drink plenty of good beers too, but just enjoy the lighter stuff during the warm months. To each their own.

Alright, you got me on a little exaggeration. I still say that it feels like 3:1, 2:1 at the most. For a little guy like you, the extra calories don't matter but for me, they do. :p
