The high gravity nature tends to hide the more abhorrent flavors of the fusel alcohol. If it had any lighter of a body, it would be undrinkable.

I can't keep the party going all night, I have to start late and crash around 1-2, or accept getting un-drunk around 9-10 if I start just after dinnertime.

It really is a good value, and I buy them when I get the chance.
However, they are only sold as singles, meaning you can really only get two at a time. This is a huge disadvantage to the alcoholic.
Instead, my go-to is two 30 packs of Natty Ice in cans, and a carton of six bottles 1.75 L bottom shelf vodka.
If I stopped at the store daily to shop, I'd go with Steel Reserve though. But I need to stock up and I simply cant buy 40 bottles of that.

Because only the worst of the worst buy 40s and thusly they're frequently used as weapons or create dangerous litter. Only 40s are plastic now, which is telling. Six packs still come in glass, depending on the beer. Hell, even 32 oz Miller high life's are still in glass because they're low abv and more expensive than a 40

These are generally sold at gas stations, convenience stores like 7-11. There is no shopping cart. You check out what you can carry, and their cooler doesn't contain hundreds of bottles to grab. I guess if you can handle two bottles per hand you could carry four. Its just easier to get beer in a 24 or 30 pack, sadly the high alcohol beers are NEVER sold in those big packs. The most I've seen is a four pack of Steel Reserve, and those are just 16 ounce cans.

>> No.12658224

Where I live they don't have these in the 40oz size. I have only seen them as 24oz singles or Battery packs (3 cans). They are $2 a piece. Still better than anything else.

That makes sense. I thought there was a weird rule about where they live or the store they bought from.
