Natty or steel reserve around here. Steel reserve because it's strong and cheap.
Hamm's is the better option though. 4 tall boys for like less than a buck each, and it actually tastes like beer. Basically PBR before we millennials brought the price up
If I can't afford a pabst I'm finding other creative ways of dulling my senses.
The worst beer I've ever had came in a plain white can labeled "Beer". I was a broke ass uni student who was used to drinking Black Ice and Lucky, but goddamn I couldn't finish a can of Beer, that shit was nasty
There used to be this HG malt liquor called Earthquake that may have been the worst tasting shit I've ever had. But it was 12% abv (maybe higher) for two dollars. Similar lager called dog bite (get it? it's the dog that bit you in that "hair of the dog" saying?) that had a silhouette of a three headed pitbull on the can . Actually kinda looked like an energy drink. Pigs didn't seem to recognize it as beer in any event. I think might be oop, tho. Cheap vodka and water is a better deal every time.
That said, alcoholism is one of the toughest things i've ever had to deal with because of the availability and price of a "fix". The best thing to overcome a drinking habit, or any habit ime, is time away from it. Much easier said than done when we're talking physical and mental addiction to a substance. Particularly hard, again, when it's everywhere or it's normative in a social setting. But alcohol punches you down and causes you to withdraw from life and responsibility, compounding problems as you drink, and making them seem insurmountable when you're sober (why even try anything? let's get drunk and forget this hellstorm). With a disposition to depression, substance abuse is all the more difficult to overcome. Add external stresses of everyday life, and alcohol seems an appealing escape each and every shitty-feeling day. But the rub is that it makes shit worse. And it stops working right. That playful delight you are seeking in a buzz might be a twenty minute window before the dark pall casts its shadow over your day all over again, if that feeling even comes at all. The shitty decisions and resignation to nihilism seems baked into this particular addiction. And the guilt. Oh boy the guilt.
I am only writing this because I saw a couple of other of your posts and it seems like you are going through some difficult times. I am not trying to lecture or be didactic, just share how I feel and my experience. From the inside of addiction, imagining a scenario where you don't wake up everyday obsessively thinking about and directing your energy toward getting fucked up seems impossible. Hopeless. I heard this from others before and it didn't matter much when I was in the midst of it, but it is possible stop. Even desirable. I still struggle with all the things that existed before I quit drinking so much like lack of money, legal shit, cleaning my house. But I feel so much better, and a healthy amount of my depression was tied up with my relationship to substances. I don't wanna be lame because it's not always the right time to share this or hear this, but there is something about your situation as you've described that is VERY relatable to me, and I just wanna say that tomorrow is up for grabs. Each moment, really. The first moments away are the hardest, but each time I say "nah" to myself is a little victory. seconds become hours become days become weeks, and it gets easier. I broke my quasi-rule of "no unsolicited advice". Sorry. Best of luck with everything, comrade. I'm rooting for you.
Yep defnitely. Alcoholism im dealing with at this point. I prefer Opioids but when Im broke, i tend to use alcohol because it's the cheapest intoxicant there is.
Rolling Rock tastes skunky even when it's fresh, but it's still beer I guess.
I'd rather eat rancid cheese salad out of Mario's asshole thank drink a different beer
- AVGN, probably
what about mouthwash? What about sniffing glue :duane: :cat-vibing:
Crazy Cowboy Lager thats a dollar a tallboy and even advertises as such(although with inflation maybe a little more) . Possibly sold in a hood near you.
And yes it's absolute trash , it's one of those "if this is all you can afford maybe you shouldn't be getting drunk" beers .The worst tend to be craft beers that get horribly infected but not pulled from shelves. Sometimes they're undrinkable.
I have found that cheapo ice beers, natural or Milwaukee's best, often have the best alcohol per beer dollar value.
What's great is if there are batches after the infection that are fixed but the price stays low because people remember the first batch and don't trust it. Got really cheap beer for three months because Leinenkugel had their first batch of a new seasonal beer infected and it was decent beer once it was fixed.
Shocked no one has mentioned Keystone yet. I am a disgusting trash man that will drink anything but I will not drink a Keystone
Stella normally
Tennents Super when i'm not in a great place lmaoI can barely tell the difference between light lagers like you might find at a frat party, so natty light is fine to me. It’s basically like drinking water
In German gas stations, the worst you come across is usually Oskar Maxum or Neptun. In liquor stores, it's better to avoid anything by Traugott Simon (they advertise it as "the beer with the funny name" because "tastes like watered-down piss, but you can't beat the price" is too on the nose). If you want a cheap beer that actually tastes good, go with Oettinger. They also make an alcohol-free malt beer that is excellent.
