12 pks on sale for $6 at heb

[blizz]

Either way this was meant to be more of a of a PSA, not a debate. If you drink any if those, go get some and you're welcome for the heads up. If you don't that's cool too, like I said, more for the rest of us that do. I'm going tomorrow to buy another 10 12pks.

[Drachen]

Word Blizz! Thank you for the information. There are many who will benefit.

[Sisk]

I am not going to look down my nose at any of you. In light of my recent pay cut I really wish I could drink ty beer (since the first thing cut was my beer budget). I even went so far as to try to drink a Bud Light last night at a friend's house and I could barely choke it down (when I go to a party where I know only cheap beer will be served, I usually bring my own six-pack, but alas, no beer budget). It was like the difference between koolaid and freshly squeezed juice, no comparison. Sadly, my choice is "no beer", instead of "cheap beer."

Oh and Blizz, once you really get into beer, it is like cigars, wine, champagne, etc. I know I am a beer snob, I can't help it. I wish I could drink cheap beer, but I can't. And despite the fact that I agree with WC, I do still believe that he could have said what he said in a far less douchy way.

This. When I saw you posted I knew you were a beer snob but also not an asshole about it.

[Drachen]

Thanks sisk, i grew up drinking sips of Lone star here and there as a child, but my first six pack was heineken when I was 15, then, shortly after that I was an exchange student to germany. I had no chance, my beer snobbery was written in the stars. Even if I hadn't gone to germany, I would have become one, because by that time, my dad was becoming more of a beer snob (because he could finally afford it), and so were my uncles. Doesn't mean I hate on those who can get away spending on twelve beers what I want to spend on one (my tastes have outpaced my earnings - LOL).

[TE]

Good to know.



In the financial state I'm in, a $6 12 pack is the only beer deal I can afford.

[blizz]

Man that sucks to hear that some of yall are having a hard time with the economy. I'm raisin a beer to yall. Hope things look up and get better for yall soon!!

I hear that...I'm a wanna be beer aficionado....just never had the funds to REALLY get into it but I love the taste of a really good beer. There's just a difference to me between enjoying a good beer and drinking beer to get drunk off my ass. Oh and when I mentioned Sam Adams...it really doesn't belong in that category..it's just a cut above the "lights". I do LOVE their Octoberfest. That's some good stuff. I should have also mentioned Warsteiner and Optimator!

I totally hear you on this, and completely agree. When in collage these beers were no thing and I never noticed how bad they really where until I got older and started drinking the more refined beers. The downside of broadening your beer pallet is you can never go back to these mainstream cheap beers. I really wish I could though because of the economic pinch.

[Richard Cranium]

I guess you all prefer Grey Poupon too?

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

If you want cheap alcohol, buy one of those cheap ass $8 handles of vodka, buy a brita filter (usually cost aroun $5 a pop, and the pitcher you can filter it in costs around $20 if you don't already have one.).

Put the vodka in your freezer overnight. Put it through the filter the next morning. Let it sit out so it can get to room temp., then put it through the filter again once it's warm. Put it back in your freezer overnight, and the next day put it through the filter for a 3rd and final time. This will completely kill the brita filter, but for 13 bucks, you have a handle of vodka that's just as high quality as grey goose or other expensive vodka.

[ClipshowDynasty]

Tbh drinking beer to get drunk just doesn't do it for mr
Anymore

I stick wit da pure liquor and da hardstuff IMO,

[ElBorracho]

Pfft...whatever it takes.

Can anyone else comment on this? Like would this really work?

I've done it multiple times, and it might not improve the actual quality of what you're drinking, it def. improves taste, takes away the nastiness cheap vodka has, and makes it a lot better to drink. I wanna puke if I take shots of cheap vodka as is, shots of filtered cheap vodka i don't even need to chase.

If you just filter it once (like most articles suggest) it still works just not nearly as much. Filtering it at different temperatures and several times over a 2 day period gets a lot more of the cheap vodka has filtered out. Brita filters are also way more effective than other filters people suggest.

You should be able to do it with activated charcoal, might be a bit cheaper.

I love some french's mus , but I am just starting to discover that y brown mus is the too.

[tlongII]

Most ultra-premium vodkas are filtered three to five times. Crater Lake Vodka is slowly filtered 10 times through charcoal and crushed volcanic rock and then aged slightly in oak. This technique is long and painstaking but makes Crater Lake Vodka one of the smoothest vodkas in the world with it a soft, spring water feel that hints slightly of vanilla.

Best I've had!

[WilliamHung]

I just bought some vodka for 5.99. She-bangs!!

[WilliamHung]

Your mom bangs for less than that.

[spyder]

[cantthinkofanything]

And you still can't afford her.

[blizz]

[Bill_Brasky]

Thanks for the heads up bro, I'm gonna get me some.

And yeah I know it's cheap beer, but it's still beer, and I will still drink it.

[DMC]

I only drink expensive beer. Even if it's ty beer that's marked up, it's better than cheap ass beer.

1 dollar Budweiser =

8 dollar Budweiser rebranded in a different bottle = good
