I took a trip to the discount liquor store and saw two young guys (early 20's) buying a twelve-pack of Keystone cans (do they even have bottles?) and two small bottles of Apple schnapps.

It made me glad I'm not that young anymore.

Im in my mid 20's (24) and I'd never drink that crap. I rather drink Charles Shaw, if I was broke than that. Or buy a 22oz Corona at least.

I've got to confess Masher ......I broke down and bought a twelve of keystone light the other day. I am not young but I am trying to figure out a way to cut back on some expenses since my wife and I are having a baby in a couple of months. Beer and cigars are really my only vices so I would rather figure out a way to spend less on beer and continue to keep smoking good cigars.

Ugh. liking expensive liquor when your young isnt a good thing. I like bombay sapphire but sure as hell cant afford it.

Don't blame bad taste solely on us young folks. Bad taste doesn't discriminate. I love to read stories on here about bad taste. They always start out with a friend of a friend or a coworker who knows everything about cigars or alcohol and smokes thompsons house brands washed down with jose cuervo or something equally as nasty.

Pmpimbura,
Im in west los angeles. Where the 405 and 10 cross. Overland area

I go to CSUN thats why i asked.

I remember buying the cheapest white rum I could afford and a 2 liter plastic bottle of some sort of peach wine cooler in high school once. I drank almost the whole bottle of rum and half of the peach wine cooler myself. The rest I was pouring into cups for the ladies.

All I remember was coming home and stumbling in the back door with vomit on my shoes. Unfortunately my mother, who never really stayed up late, waited for me to come home that night. Boy was she pissed. That was the first time she figured out that I had been drinking underage.

we have a deal with a local store owner. we buy all of our beer for parties from him and we get a discount for it. I think it comes out to about 10 bucks a 30 pack of beast, but there are other fringe benefits. when you're throwing a college party for anywhere between 200 and 800 people, quantity takes precedence over quality. when you are looking at 40 30 racks plus 10 5liter boxes of wine, price becomes a huge issue.

I don't begrudge anybody being cheap, but it was a discount warehouse store -- there was a TON of stuff to choose from. In fact they had a special on 24 packs of Tecate . . .

But the Apple schnapps . . . man, it did remind me of my high-school days with Old Milwaukee, schnapps, cheap vodka, and wine coolers galore.

I can only sum up those experiences as barf city!

haha yup...milwaukees best = beast. if im having a few of course i like good beers.

Aaahhh! The days of cheap! Millerhighlife, the beast,Red Dog, Natural light, just about any malt liquor(Mickey's is the best) and skol vodka.
My college days where riddled with bad hangovers and blackouts!

blackouts? wait, that's like when i forget a whole weekend, right????

Ever stand in the middle of the road and shake a link of raw sausage at oncoming traffic like it was you slong! Oh, those where the days.

hmmm, that i haven't. similar stuff, but not quite that. Don't know how well that would go over around here with the multitude of cops that cruise campus lol. I think i may have exhausted my "get out of jail free cards" with them already

My wife and I just discovered Mr. Shaw ("Three Buck Chuck"). I'm well beyond 24, but his is the first Merlot I've had in a long time that doesn't give me headaches -- and I love to drink Merlot.

The summer that I went to UCLA Summer School I also lived off Overland, on the corner of Francis Place in Palms. The apt. wasn't much to speak of then, and it was over 30 years ago.

Unfortunately they don't make bottles of Keystone. It's funny because this is the third time I've thought of Keystone bottles in the past week. I think they should make them. Keystone cans are among the cheapest beers you can buy which makes them an instant favorite among umm...kids...my age (20). 30 pack for 12$ plus some change. As mentioned in the middle of this thread, "quantity takes precedence over quality"(baquadro) in some cases. Almost all of last year was Keystone Light (Ice is the devil I tell you!). I'm very proud to say I haven't resorted to it even ONCE this year!

Also, those who drink Keystone don't think it's quality, but we know it's cheap . There are occasions when one 'splurges' for the 'good stuff' and it makes up for it. I'm sure everyone remembers when they were in college or there about and could not afford the stuff they really wanted to drink.

I prefer a litre of good ole Colt 45

god ...when i was in college i worked at a bar so...i always had the good stuff..

..but the nights of boozing and lifting man hole covers over my head and throwing them in the middle of the road....running on top of cars that are lined up down the street....the things we did....

I went to ASU longer ago than I care to admit. There were a few bars around that had GREAT specials (something you NEVER see here on Long Island!) - Tuesday and Thursday nights, $5 cover charge and $.19 Coronas from 8-11. Yes, you could load a table with more bottles than the waitress could carry for about 5 bucks. This was obviously before the Corona "boom" occurred in the early 90's...
