Default Re: Cheap College Beers

When is was in college, the beers we drank were

Haffenreffer Private Stock - 40 & 64 oz.
Colt 45 - 40 oz.
Olde English 800 - 40 oz.

I had a tough time taming the 64. It would always be too warm by the end. They really nailed it with the 40; just the right amount of beer to get things started.

Lets not forget

Narragansett
Utica Club
Genessee Cream Ale and other fine varieties
Carling Black Label
Schaeffer (the right beer to have if you're puking more than once)
Hamms
Red White and Blue
Dixie Beer

These are just a few that guarantee to make a lousy evening even worse.

We used to play Edward 40 Hands, where we'd have two 40s taped to our hands and no one could go to the bathroom until they were done. Olde English was a staple, as was Mickeys. You'd get a pretty solid buzz basically pounding 80 ounces of malt liquor. In retrospect, we were idiots

Edward 40 hands isn't even a challenge unless you have been drinking before hand.

It seemed like it was always Natty (Natural) Light in college. We made the mistake of buying Narragansett once. That was really terrible.

That's why we stepped it up to Edward pint and chaser hands

These plus St. Ides and 211 Steel Reserve. Yuengling Lager Quarts, too, but they cost more and you get less. Once people started turning 21 we mostly drank pretty respectable beer.
