Holiday Drunk Thread

Yeah but but is popular here too where it isn't cheap. Bud Light is the number one beer in Canada, although its brewed by Labatt rather than A-Busch.

I'd almost rather not drink. It's the blandest shot there is, at least Coors is refreshing.

 

After prohibition it was one of the few remaining breweries. Its also ubiquitous with successful marketing. Name a better brand that isn't Coke or Nike.

However, it isn't cheap anymore. Barely less than Yuengling now. They produce something around 100 million barrels. Bud Light alone holds 60% of the market.

I don't want to get into a thing about taste and palettes. People like it. It gets them drunk. Perhaps you could do more research at Applebees in between firing rocket diarrhea into the terlet.

 

The problem is you did it into a sock. Assert yourself as a man, cum wherever you want to. On the sheets. On the television. In the fishtank.

It's not creepy if you give her fair warning. Invest in a labelmaker so that everybody who comes through your house will know, "WARNING. COFFEEPOT HAS SEEN SOME SEMEN."

 

Crown, its kind of funny, you're talking about Shock Top and Fat Tire like they're a big deal. While not the worst, those are almost starter beers. Its cool your girlfriend bought you beer, however that stuff is kind of bottom of the barrel compared to many craft beers. If you can, just to get a feel for things, get a hold of anything Green Flash or Dogfish Head, or if you're lucky Russian River. I'm not a huge Russian River fan, however they hardly screw up a beer ever.

Bud/Coors/Miller are popular because thats all people had for a while, and some people grew to like it. Budweiser gets a bad rap but isn't bad for what it is, however it is by no means a good beer. Coors taste like shit, and Miller tastes salty. People like those beers because they've been around forever and they're not bad for drinking when you're out bar hopping.

What I like about craft beer is its an affordable luxury, kind of like a nice cigar. After a hard days work or a bad day, its nice to crack open an IPA, ale, or stout and unwind.

 

I only want to try Fat Tire for one reason: because ever since I joined the RMMB people went on about it like it can turn Froot Loops into emeralds and booze is something I have ALWAYS trusted the opinions of on both boards.

Your Craft beers cost less way less than our shit beer. Even if I pay duty free on the way back, it's far cheaper than what qualifies as one wrung on the ladder above Swish.

 

If you know people it can be possible to ship beer to people who are less fortunate. I've done it before with friends in Indiana.

That sucks that good beer is hard to come by north of the border. But I guess it could be worse, you could be in Australia.

 

I was being facetious. We all know it went in her hair while she was asleep. Duh.

I do have this unrealistic CSI phobia that someone will come in here with a black light and see the entire house, every surface, even spatterings on the ceiling will be glowing with my fingerprints like phosphorescence.

 

Nice save there Brogan, but you failed to mention how your sheets will glow like Belloch tore the lid off the Ark of the Covenant. Don't look, Marion! That shit will burn the eyes out of yer freakin' skull.

 

I live less than an hour from the Detroit/Windsor crossings, and I feel like there's some sort of reverse-prohibition profit to be made here. I wonder just how illegal it would be for me to fill my car with craft beer and hawk it on the streets of Windsor. Two Hearted must be worth its weight in gold.

 

Can't be done, last I crossed the border it was a 2 case per person limit, the Canucks want you to have to pay 50 bucks for a two four. Perks of having great fishing and a monopoly on beer sales.

 

Seriously though, if you're crossing the border from Michigan to Ontario, it can't be that hard to hide a few cases of beer in the car. I know, not declaring them is illegal and if they find it you'll get in trouble, but how likely is it that they'll search the car if you look normal and act normal?

 

If you're black, they will search you.

If you are alone, not a couple, don't have kids, there is a good chance they search you. And if they send you into that little building, you get to be their bitch until they let you walk out, which is whenever they feel like.

It's not worth it. I have the best free pass there is and I don't risk it. Customs are not cops. Your rights DO NOT apply in their presence. You could get banned from the country, and when that happens it is forever.

 

I for one do not want to be banned from America. I was when I had a record (the USA is the only country I've been to that does this) and I felt like somebody shit on my life. 80% of my best vacations and 100% of my quality shopping was in the States.

Now that my record is gone I get to take take my kid to Disney next fall (which you don't have to twist my arm to do) and show my family some of the cool shit I've seen like the Grand Canyon and the Smithsonian. If I got banned from all that I would be pissed off for the rest of my life.

 

Its kind of funny, I've encountered a lot of Canadians who resent the US and tend to be anti-American, maybe because it comes off as cool. When I was in a hostel in Prague a few years ago there were these Canadian kids saying how they aren't American and how they hate the US and that Canada doesn't rely on the US for its economy. I pointed out to them that the majority of Canada's major cities lie within 50 miles of the border.

 

When I got my Impaired Driving I couldn't get into Canada, they changed the law soon after. I haven't been back since I turned 21 and could drink here in the US.

Windsor when you're 19 is like Vegas, I spent many weekends there contributing to the local economy. First time I went I was walking down the street and instinctively ran when 2 cops approached me, they laughed in my face and I felt like an idiot.

 

If you're a Michigan kid and are 19, being in Windsor is pretty fun. You can gamble, drink, do whatever you want. I had some good times in the casinos and strip clubs.

 

Prostitution is legal too, at least thats what a friend told me.....

 

Cuban cigars. You see a lot of cigar shops, and more strip clubs than any Canadian city per capita. Lots of vice for 19 and 20 year olds.
