In all seriousness, Black Box wines are fairly decent. Yeah, it's a Constellation Brands wine, sold in a 3 liter boxes, but really ... it's not bad.

At the risk of sounding like a beer snob, Yuengling is about as low as I'll go nowadays.
A lot of my friends aren't as *ahem* enlightened, and they still think Bud Light and Miller Light are good beer choices. Bud, Miller, and the like are only good after I've had about 5 or 6 drinks already and I no longer care about taste.
As far as liquor is concerned.............hmmm. Not sure. I actually don't drink very much liquor. Drank plenty of it in college. I am not averse to it, it's just that I truly enjoy a good beer and I guess I have to be in a certain mood for liquor, even a mixed drink. Eight or nine times out of ten, I just go for the beer.
There's the kind of foodies that love good food in all of its forms, and those who have rarefied tastes, who turn their noses up at anything that's a chain, or which isn't artisanel or organic. "Oh, just the thought of stepping foot into an Olive Garden gives me the dry heaves." Come on. Those kinds off foodies are going to have an awfully hard time if they're on a cross-country road trip, they leave the Interstate to satisfy their hunger pangs, and all they find are chains and strip plaza Chinese.
I'm a beer snob, but sometimes I just want something easy, and for that, a Yuengling, Rolling Rock, Genny, or Bud fits the bill. Yes, there's bad beer. However, some American light lagers can be enjoyable under the right circumstances; hot weather, after mowing the lawn or another physically strenuous activity. Budweiser isn't necessarily bad beer; it's just simple and uncomplicated.

I always assumed that kinda talk is intended as hyperbole.
If one's intent is simply to get drunk, then one should have the aim to do it as painlessly and inexpensively as possible. To that end, the best suggestion I've heard so far is Mickey's Big Mouth; one may have to muscle their way past the bad taste a little bit, but not too much as these things go.

If you really want to go DIY then brew up some Pruno. Its a favorite of those serving time in some of America's finest establishments and can be created with sugar, fruit juice, bread and a zip lock bag. Just make sure to hide it well so the warden does not find it.
It cannot be any worse than Two Buck Chuck.

For an extra $2 you can get Yellow Tail or another down market Aussie wine. Charles Shaw is the malt liquor of the wine world but less drinkable.Dude, what is your issue with Charles Shaw

My dad used to get rip roaring drunk on this wine called Fortissimo, but he would call it Dago Red. I have no idea if it was cheap, but if coming in 2 gallon bottles with a screw top is any indication, I bet it was.

Oh yeah, and I'm not totally averse to something cheap. It's just that I enjoy beer for the taste as much as I enjoy the buzz itself, and after drinking double IPAs every weekend for a few years, well the Buds and Millers of the world taste watered down. Trust me, if I'm at a barbecue I won't turn down Bud Light. But if I'm buying beer for myself at a bar, I'll go for something a little more high octane
At the neighborhood liquor store. Would RJ approve?

I just noticed - that "whisky" has an expiration date.

Better get to drinking, you only have a few weeks left so you don't have to dump that $5.99 investment down the drain.I just noticed - that "whisky" has an expiration date

I have to agree with Jazzman. I have mentioned it before and I will mention it again. One of the risks of Yooper Bars, is there is a chance that your beer selections might be Bud, Bud light, Miller, Miller light.
Sam Adams, Guinness, and local micro-brews are all I ever buy anymore. When I am in the mood for something stronger, I reach for the bottle of Jameson. Otherwise I drink water.

Maister,
Looks more like antifreeze or gasoline additive than whiskey.
OT: My dad told a story about a wino who appeared at the door of his frat house. The fellow was an alumni and a former member of the fraternity. They let him crash for the night. He drank a bottle of aftershave (Aquavelva, I believed) that someone left in the bathroom and died of alcohol poisoning. You would think in a frat house he could have found something else to drink than wood alcohol.

And the quick-and-dirty antidote for drinking antifreeze is ... equal amounts of whiskey. I recommend Black Booster, a premium Sierra Leonian whiskey.
