Here's A Nice Family

I don't know about this:

Deputies say a 16-year-old has been arrested for beating his grandmother with a two-by-four for refusing to give him $100 for beer.

...Authorities tell us today that Cass came from a troubled family. His mother is in prison on cocaine possession and sale charges, and his father is serving a 15-year prison sentence for manslaughter after choking a prostitute to death in 2002.

What kid needs $100 for beer?

A kid with expensive tastes

I remember paying bar tabs higher than that, but yikes, that would be a few cases of brewskis.

After reading about his lovely family, I'd say HE does. I could use a drink after reading it and they're not even relatives.

Hasn't this kid ever heard of Schaeffer's? It's only, what, six bucks a case?

And you still get just as drunk.

(Schaeffer's? They still brew that REVOLTING concoction?)

Wasn't Schaeffer banned by the UN Security Council?

Is Schaeffer worse than Lucky Lager ($0.99/sixpack, last time I saw it in a store)?

Schaeffer is about the same as Red White and Blue:

or Old German(which my grad school rommate used to buy: "It's two dollars a case - cold! It's cheaper than soda!"):

I loved this review for Old German:

That is really bad. Honestly, I don't understand why people drink something that tastes this awful. Why would you drink beer that doesn't even taste like anything? You'd think people would want something flavorful or interesting or even high proof. But, no. People flock to this garbage like flies flock to fresh dog shit on a hot day. And you know what? I bet what they're eating tastes better than this horrible mixture of fake malts, no hop bitterness, and a horrible, horrible cereal aftertaste that lingers on forever.
