Miller High Life Light How much does it run you? $13.99 per 30 pack How much beer do you drink in a week? Usually 1-1/2 30 packs a week. How much does it run you a week? I guess about $30 Do you get drunk at all during the week? If so how do you have room in your stomach for all of these dark thick beers? I get drunk all the time, usually because I supplement my extremely light beer with a premium cheap Vodka (like Kamchatka).

How can you make a night of drinking out of dark chocolet/almond/coffee/ tabacco tasting beers? If you ask me, "premium beer drinkers" are homos. That's why you can only get them in 6 packs. Only homos buy 6 packs. Beer is meant to be consumed in high quantities while you're watching TV, or mowing the lawn, or fixing the car. And also internet forum posting.

listen2me 23 1,541 Posted June 4, 2008 I just can't drink more than 2 or 3 heavy beers at a time, especially when I am eating or just got done eating. It fills me up quick and just doesn't sit well. I couldn't imagine making a night of drinking out of it. I do like to try different ones once in a while and do like them. Can't stand them on a hot day. For me... Beer of choice- Miller Lite. But I mix it up quite a bit. Cost- Around 17-18 dollars a 30 pack. I'd say i go through 30-50 beers a week, depending on occasions. I get drunk on the weekends. I'd expect this to change as I get older. I'm only 22. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How much does it run you? I get kegs at cost Stoudts was still ~$200 and Yuengling was a gift from PA relatives. How much beer do you drink in a week? Maybe 2-3 pints during the week (total) - much more on the weekend. How much does it run you a week? Depends on how long the kegs last... Do you get drunk at all during the week? If so how do you have room in your stomach for all of these dark thick beers? No...when drinking something heavy, I usually only have 2 or 3.

How can you make a night of drinking out of dark chocolet/almond/coffee/ tabacco tasting beers? I can't chug heavy beer (not all dark beer is heavy)...I can't have more than 2 or 3 and I do treat them more like a wine than a high life. Having a "new" beer is awesome, even if the beer itself turns out to be not that "good". "Good" being my opinion... We'll use last weekend as an example - started off with 4-5 bombers of quality beers (Begian, Stout, Triple all probably between 9-12%ABV) split between 3-4 of us, so that's maybe 2 pints of beer total. Then 2-3 pints of the Stoudts (10%ABV). Then I migrated to Yuengling... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like it and the price is right for an every day brew. I switch up with other brews to get from time to time. 2. Its pretty damn cheap. 3. Since the 4 month old came along...maybe 3. If the weather is nice and I am grilling more...this number will go up. 4. Not much right now. 5. Not often...but if I get drunk its usually on bourbon. 6. I like quality beer when I just want 1 or 2 and feel like getting some. No, beer is not like sipping fine wine.

Also, I like whisky/scotch & water. I go through that as well. I'd say I probably spend $50-$75 a week on average on booze Not really, I usually have a couple beers or a couple drinks, maybe 6 or more a once a week. On a camping weekend I drink all day.

If so how do you have room in your stomach for all of these dark thick beers? I find the light over-carbonated beers wreak more havoc on my stomach than the darker beers.

Franknbeans 46 Posted June 20, 2015 Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale I am not much of a beer drinker but this brew does the trick. Usually have 2. Sometimes 3. Maybe 4. Then bed spins. It is a great, great beer if you don't drink a lot at one time. Maybe buy a six pack every other week. Cost is 12 per. ABV is 7.5%. I have tried some of their other offerings that have a higher ABV content but it is just too much. This one is just right.

jerryskids 5,192 Posted June 21, 2015 I don't drink beer much but when I do it is usually the darker and/or higher alcohol beers because I find their taste more complex and interesting. There is a place less than a mile from my office called the Phoenix Ale Brewery where I've gone with work folks a few times: http://www.phoenixbrew.com/ Their Imperial Porter and Imperial Hefe are awesome. They also have an imperial stout called Inebriator (not on website) which is fantastic but very dangerous due to its 10%-ish alcohol. The owner founded and sold Pyramid Brewery in Seattle, then decided to move somewhere sunny. On the lighter side, I was at a pool party at a resort last weekend where it was 115 degrees, so I was looking for something lighter. They had something called Illusive Traveler Grapefruit Ale: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/31442/156288/ It was really tasty and perfect for a hot day.
