Let's talk BEER for a little bit.

6 bucks for a Coors Light?!

I just caught Killian's Irish Red (my fave "cheap" brand) on sale for $4 a six-pack at Kroger's today. Got 8 of 'em.

Most of our local pubs charge about 2-3 bucks for a domestic beer, while the imports go for 3-4 bucks. Besides, you're talking about buying a 6 pack at Kroger's, a much different animal than pints at a pub. My point was that certain people make comments about me spending $30 or more for a case of imported beer (do the math. $30 divided by 24 bottles = $1.25 per beer), yet they see no problem going out and paying 2-3 bucks for crappy domestics.

And I've spent time in a number of bigger cities and the nicer hotels and clubs charge double that price, so yeah, I can see $6 or more for a bottle of Coors Light (or Girl's Light as we like to call it). I'm sure many other on the board can attest to that. Heck, I know there are clubs that charge much more, but there's no need to go any further to make my case (no pun intended).

The only places I've been that would think of charging 6 bucks for a lower priced domestic bottle make up for it by providing plenty of naked women.

But, yeah, if ya got a few bucks, I can see splurging for something really good once in a while. For you sake, I hope it is prettyy mediocre...too good and you'll start wanting to buy it mor eoften...too bad and you're money's gonna feel pissed away.

Good grief. I'm glad I'm too old to be going to clubs and such.


FWIW, I've been known to spend a little extra money on beer myself. Nothing better than a nice black-and-blonde, and Bass is pretty damn expensive.
