If you're not drinking you'd better start. The nation is going to Hell in a hand-basket.

1. I switched to Winter Melamine
A fine brew from China. Hints of lead, cadmium and other heavy
metals and other toxins. tastes great, more telling.

31. back when I worked in convenience stores
we didnt even bother to carry it in anything but quarts.. It was strictly an alcoholics beer.

That was a few years ago so it might have changed now, it was a malt liquor and it was way cheap !

25. It is cheap
and the best tasting as far as cheap beer goes. More bang for your buck. Two for $3 or $4 Slightly more alcohol by volume than regular beer. The only alcohol that is cheaper and you get more is nasty high gravity malt liquor and the caffeine nasty tasting stuff like Tilt or 4 Loko(Though I think they are banned in current form).

I like XX but I don't like spending 10 bucks on a 6 pack or $3 on a bottle.

10. As a malt liquor enthusiast, it is Olde English 800. The extra "e" makes it classy.

11. Beware of Whisky Nancy Whisky, She'll ruin you like she ruined me.
The more I kissed her the more I loved her.
The more I kissed her the more she smiled.
Soon I forgot my mother's teaching, Nancy soon had me beguiled.

19. Homebrew here, too.
All grain in ten gallon batches. Many styles of ales, including my favorites, Belgians and barleywines. Getting ready to make wine and mead, too.

Although given the weather and the time of year my tastes are going more towards stouts & porters right now.

27. I see it in some places around here -- not every place that sells alcohol though
I stay away from it because it is the very first drink I got drunk off of. It tasting good going down, but I drank nearly a whole bottle. I threw up several times and the smell alone makes me gag. I think it was Grape. Too afraid to try the other flavors.

32. bumwine.com
All you did'nt need to know about popskull wine...



As majestic as the cascading waters of a drain pipe, MD 20/20 is bottled by the 20/20 wine company in Westfield, New York. This is a good place to start for the street wine rookie, but beware; this dog has a bite to back up its bark. MD Stands for Mogen David, and is affectionately called "Mad Dog 20/20". You'll find this beverage as often in a bum's nest as in the rock quarry where the high school kids sneak off to drink. This beverage is likely the most consumed by non-bums, but that doesn't stop any bums from drinking it! Our research indicates that MD 20/20 is the best of the bum wines at making you feel warm inside. Some test subjects report a slight numbing agent in MD 20/20, similar to the banana paste that the dentist puts in your mouth before injecting it with novocain. Anyone that can afford a dentist should steer clear of this disaster. Avaliable in various nauseating tropical flavors that coat your whole system like bathtub scum, but only the full "Red Grape Wine" flavor packs the 18% whallop

30. On the Bell's at the moment


The most diverse yet most consistent brewery I can think of. I never thought anything would replace Smithwicks but the red ale is incredible.
