Anyone ever think about their beer purchasing from an economic standpoint? I am sure that most of you are familiar with the foundation of economics: |
Actually I suspect many of the folks are maxing their blitzed potential. At 4.5% Bud Light takes about 4 bottles to match a decent bomber at 9%. So roughly they can get more than twice as blitzed for their buck with the crap. Without having to tolerate anything with taste. |
Yeah but it’s not only about getting blitzed. Some brewers only sell certain offerings in 12 packs and I say they can pound sand. My most recent experience is with southern tier. |
In colorado craft 6pks average 9.49/8.99 and often are on sale for 7.49 pr even 6.99, while the cheapest macro lager 30pk averages 17/18 with sale prices at 14/15 ( and a bud light 18 pk costs 14.99). My point is theres better ratios in colorado and maybe thats a reason there are so many obsessed beer geeks here (and other beer centric states). |
I think people drink their cheaper beer because they like it, not because its cheaper. I use to drink a lot of coors light because I liked it. I would drink it in the shower, after class, after work, at bars, etc. because to me, at that time, it was a good beer. |
You’re assuming that people on this site drink for the buzz, which doesn’t accurately reflect the sentiment of the average Ratebeerian. |
Originally posted by b3shine Yep! I hate getting buzzed. It means I can’t tick as much and have to stop drinking. If I never got buzzed, I’d have a lot more ticks on RB. Worth it. If someone can make a 2% ABV stout, bring it! |
I would argue that the economic view is slightly flawed by the changeability of preference. The beer I hanker for will change by time of day, day of the week, season, weather and mood. Some times are marked by the suitability of cold, fizzy, flavourless lager and a pint of rich, hoppy pale ale just would not do. |

I like to get buzzed. Ticking is pointless. |
I haven’t bought many bombers since writing this. |
