Best Bargain Alcohol

[Anonymous No.4465360]

As far as I'm concerned, this is the best beer you can buy in volume for under $15. Recently on sale at Walgreen's $10 for 18 12 oz. cans.

Its nearly summertime. Its hot as fuck (where I am), and its great to have some ice cold beer around to cool off.

So, what does /ck/ drink when /ck/ drinks cheap?

[Anonymous No.4465365]

I don't touch beer, especially canned, so I'm not to well versed on beer.
But I love getting those 4L jugs of Carlo Rossi wine for $15. And as I recommended in that vodka thread, Kirland vodka, $13 for a handle.

[Anonymous No.4465367]

if im going for a cheap drunk i get steel reserve.

[Anonymous No.4465368]

Yuengling and Old Grand-Dad Bourbon. Two Boilermakers and I'm set, so it lasts me awhile.

[Anonymous No.4465379]

>>4465368
Sounds good.


I'm in a fairly large college town in the American South, so cans of lager like Busch, Natural Light "Natty", and Icehouse are distributed and consumed for the better part of most days.

The subject is "best bargain ALCOHOL" and the question is:

Best cheap Beer? Simpler Times. Get at trader Joe's for 4$ a Sixer. Comes in Lager (%6.0) and Pilsner(%5.5).

I find The Pilsner tastes a bit better, but the lager is great too. I'm talking genuinely good beer for both these things, not "Good for the Price".

Wow I just realized that even a $2 (750mL) bottle of wine isn't more efficient than a 40 of Steel Reserve (1.18L for $2)

Yeah I'm a cocktail geek so I try to get a bit creative if I just want to get ripped. It helps to have mixers/fruit to make it more refreshing, but I'm not above saying 'fuck it' and pouring a glass of straight liquor.

Any Collins drink in this weather is great. ~$1 for seltzer, ~$3 for a bag of lemons (just freeze whatever isn't juiced for later, and granulated sugar is just a pantry staple (making a small batch of simple syrup is preferred, since it mixes easier). You can nix the seltzer if you want a Sour instead, good but lacks that refreshing feeling carbonated water gives.

Paying a bit more upfront makes it cheaper in the long run.

[Anonymous No.4465569]

>>4465547
(same dude)

Going just a bit further, a Collins or Sour usually calls for 50ml/1.5oz of alcohol (not exact conversions of course). So a fifth is going to give you about 26 servings. So unless you're a severe alcoholic or drinking in a group, a fifth will last you a good while.

[Anonymous No.4465589]

I often have "Biere 33" which i bring home with me whenever i pop down to france. It's a delicious lager, and only 2% abv, so you can sit in the sun all afternoon sinking them and still be capable of performing tasks. Nothing nicer than finishing a crate as the sun sets, chatting with your buddies.

[ChefAnon !R9aboRROXI No.4465605]

I don't really drink anything below yuengling, unless someone gives me it. I'm all down for party beer, but for personal in home I try to keep some minor amount of quality in my fridge.

It's the little things.

bro. just try. like Mexico.

I went to Mexico and got any beer for like $~0.30us, liquor is cheaper.

you can get $100 rum for like $20 and $20 rum for like $3

>what's this "after tax" thing
on the shelf, something might be labelled as $9.99, but when they ring it up, they add sales tax (varies by state), which brings it over $10. in FL, it's 7%, i believe (might be 7.5?).

I was just going off of the fact that it says "St. Louis, MO" on the bottle and assumed it was brewed there. This image i just found on GIS seems to suggest they are brewed in both places, or at least labelled differently for different markets. Oh also calm down dude.

Charles Shaw cabernet. ("two buck chuck")
Svedka vodka
Miller High Life
Trader Joe's house brand Kentucky Bourbon (which is actually quite decent.)

That pretty much covers it, as far as cheap alcohol. I used to be strictly a gin drinker, for the longest time, but I got burned out on it for some reason. It started giving me hangover and the "icks", so I had to switch. Also, I couldn't buy cheap gin. Cheap gin will kill ya.

when i was younger and poor we would drink busch and a puerto rican friend of mine showed me a trick to make it taste much better we would add a lime wedge to it like they do with corona.

really made it much better why that worked no idea but it made busch which tastes like piss water palatable .

now when i want to drink cheap beer i buy yuengling. 9$ for a 12 pack and its decent beer.
