Bottle of bottom shelf vodka + powdered drink mix of choice.
Tastes better, will get you drunk way quicker, is just way more alcohol, and is about the same amount of trashy. Neither should be drunk in public as they're both for trailer people, so why drink urine?

Also, if you want them to not be so quick acting, grab a gallon of cheap orange juice and make screwdrivers or some other kind of super basic drink. I've literally never in my life just wanted "to drink a case of cheap bear" full stop. There is literally zero benefit to drinking cheap beer over cheap spirits other than the snobby elitism of beer being nasty garbage that you managed to convince yourself you liked (aka, an "acquired taste").

Like all fashions, beer goes in cycles.

In the 90's it was all about lagers (at least in my country) and there were some really good ones.

Then it all became about hoppy microbrews, which is fine but of course it gets overdone. Also hops are just a more bitter version of soy.

I'm hoping the next fad will be ales. I was in London recently and my friend taught me a bit about cask ale. I really liked the light but full flavor.

Except beer isn'y cycling so much as it is dramatically improving. Beer today is far better than at any other point in history. There are definitely cycling trends within good beer, but bad beer becoming less popular isn't just a trend, its a direct result of the wildly increased availability of good beer, a trend that is unlikely to reverse or cycle back

And I'm not criticizing. No other country has improved its beer output in the past 40 years as dramatically as the USA. It's just that other countries have had good beer for such a long time that statements like "Beer today is far better than at any other point in history" are a little laughable.
