OK, so when presented with the option of either drinking cheap beer, Smirnoff Ice, or water, which do you choose?

I was at the wife's company picnic today and those were my choices. Bacardi Breezers, Smirnoff Ice, or *gulp* Budweiser Select (1/2 keg). I started with a Breezer, but those are too sweet for my taste, so I ended up driking the Bud Select. It really does taste as bad as you'd think.

What would you do?


It's ok though...the lobster and steak I had made up for the crap beer. :dancing: (some cookout!)

 

[Tenchiro]

Well I sure as hell won't choose the sobriety option. Personally I would go for the liquid panty remover instead of the cheap beer. Unless it was PBR.

 

[MtnBikerChk]

SIT IN THE CORNER AND POUT!

URGH, I was disgusted when I saw him drinking the bud select.

What's "select" about it anyway?

 

[LOOnatic]

Tough break but as much of a beer snob as i truly am, sometimes you gotta suck it up and drink the cheap stuff.

 

[OGRipper]

Tsk, tsk. Live and learn: Never show up to someone else's company picnic empty-handed.

I would probably have a beer or two. And about 6 lobsters.

 

[Changleen]

Go with the Bacardi Breezers or Smirnoff Ice. They are sweet as hell and give you gut rot but you can get 'em down your neck and get real pissed real fast. Then the Bud might taste OK...

 

[DirtyDog]

I'd rather have a mass produced beer than a bad craft beer. That is the choice I was recently confronted with while in Utah.

I would have done the Bud.

Only a select few are sad enough to drink it?



I'm in the go without/pout catagory.

 

[SkaredShtles]

I'm drinking water and hangin' out sober.

 

[DirtyDog]

I'm drinking water and hangin' out sober.

Is that slang for throwing back a case of Fat Tire?

 

[I Are Baboon]

I'm drinking water and hangin' out sober.

Yeah but could you play with the little sandbox tractor if you were sober?

 

[DirtyDog]

Where are your helmets? :mumble:

 

[Serial Midget]

I voted soda but would probably pout in the corner.

 

[Heidi]

I am a total beer snob. Nothing but the best for me please.

 

[dogwonder]

Option E...run to the beer store and get a 6 pack of Dogfish Head...

 

[fiddy_ryder]

i pack my own 40's to picnics and cookouts...

 

[Mizzle]

Since i'm still in college it's about getting hammered, not taste.

So where's, the all of the above option.

Free alcohol = yes please!
I'd take all I can get.

Honestly who really drinks for tatse?
It's all about getting messed up.

You are lost my son...find the way and enjoy the taste...the whole world will get better...

He's like the petulant student that gets kicked out of Kung Fu school.

 

[Zark]

As I've said before, I'll drink cheap before in an emergency (like sobriety)

...and now a Random Fact About Vin Diesel:

Vin Diesel once urinated into a glass pitcher and subsequently sold it for $35 and a pack of Juicy Fruit to the patent office. That pitcher of urine ultimately became Budweiser Select.


...I would: E.) Get in my car and drive to the nearest, most diversely stocked Pub.

From one student to another, get ahold of some Newcastle. That was when I saw the light. And get a 30-pack of Caguama too

it means that if you are stupid you will "select" this beer as your favorite!

 

[maxyedor]

I would have been the designated driver for that occaision. Plus at a company picnic it shows responsibility and that may get you a promotion, and more money to buy good beer with.

I don't think I'd get promoted for not drinking at my wife's company picnic.

 

[binary visions]

I'd have gone with the cheap beer. You made the right choice.

Tasty beer is good, but generally free crappy beer is better than no beer.

This excludes the Beast, Coors Light, and a few others. In that situation, I'd leave the party for ten minutes to pick up a six pack down the street

 

[McGRP01]

I usually travel with a 6er of good beer to these type events, but if the need was there I'd drink some Bud. You made the right call Phil.

 

[Westy]

I love a good beer but I have no problem drining a cheap beer. However I will not drink miller or miller light, that stuff makes me sick.

 

[DRB]

I'd prefer to drink good beer but I'll drink bad beer rather than drink no beer.

 

[douglas]

I'd drink the girly malt stuff

 

[berkshire_rider]

(E) Make sure you find the (obviously) non-beer drinker that organized this outing and "educate" them on a better choice for next year's picnic.

(F) Bring a flask with you on the DL, and add as necessary to the lemonade or coke that's available.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Yeah but could you play with the little sandbox tractor if you were sober?

Ummmm... yeah. I have. I do. The park near our house has one. I fight with the boys to play on it.
