I love shitty beer

I just wanna speak on low income drinking. I’ll maybe indulge with myself after a check but I’ve become accustomed to dirt cheap liquor and beer. A gallon of zhenka for 10$ is unbeatable, sure the other brands taste better but it’s still just vodka. First few times drinking it is hell but that can be said about most liquors, drinking zhenka for so long and being somewhere where you can drink absolut or smirnoff I don’t see the difference other than it might not be as rough on the pipes.

Same with beer. Why spend 17$ on a 12 pack of corona when you could buy a 30 pack of keystone light for 3 extra dollars. That’s where tall boys come in, you can see buying them in two ways. You want a nice fruity drink or beer without buying 12 or 30 of them. But I mostly see buying tall cans as a declaration to get drunk. There’s 8% even 13.5% in those 4 lokos but they’re so expensive to get to the same place as a Natty Daddy would. 25floz of 8% shitty beer for 2$ a can, you can get 5 for the same price as 2 of the better tasting option. Anyone can say they taste like shit but I don’t see it anymore.

Obviously this wasn’t directed towards people who want to catch a buzz socially or enjoy the rich flavors and tones with a single glass. I see this directed more towards genuine alcoholics that are spending far too much on their addiction. The cheap stuff isn’t a acquired taste rather a tolerated one, I have enough money to spend too much money on something that tastes good but it takes away from simply getting drunk. Why break your bank when you can torture your taste buds into enjoying something a hour of work could pay for.

That being said I’m probably gonna get hate for the way I worded this or by people who don’t agree all I’m saying is I love shitty beer and liquor and it doesn’t become a problem when buying groceries. I’ve “tortured” my taste buds into enjoying the lowest of the low and I don’t see it enough yk
