<p>Or at least the ones that pretend to be rich?</p>
<p>I mean couldn't they choose a decent drink like Yuengling or something?</p>
<p>not drinking for taste</p>
<p>Cheap, drinks like water. Like Hella said, a person drinking Natty is not drinking it for taste but for getting drunk. Yes there are better substances to achieve that, like hard liquor, but not everyone likes those.</p>
<p>All those beers are starting to suck when it comes to getting drunk though. I think I had six Miller Lites last night and only felt a bit of a buzz.</p>
<p>To fit in as well. We’d take a lot of slack for drinking something nice in front of those drinking junk.</p>
<p>It’s cheap and has a good alcohol/calorie ratio (for a beer). There really isn’t another reason… it tastes like crap and you look like Fratty McFratterson</p>
<p>Yeah, no one drinks Natty Light for the taste. Here though most people drink Keystone. But I don’t like beer really at all…I can barely drink it unless I’m drunk already. </p>
<p>Shots of cheap vodka FTW.</p>
<p>its cheaper than liquor and gets you drunk. Me and my friends drink guiness to watch the game or just kick back but we go keystone (not light) at parties. The non-dark beers are better to chug which is the point of college parties.</p>

<p>Because people want to get as drunk as possible for as little money as possible. There are better things to spend ones money on than alcohol.</p>
<p>Red Oak Amber Lager is the best beer I’ve ever had.</p>
<p>Why are poor people so obsessed with rich people?</p>
<p>I am simply a lower-income person with better taste and class. </p>
<p>But no seriously – a decent lager is like at worst, 30% more expensive than Natty light.</p>
<p>Also Obama’s favorite beer is Yuengling. This should instantly guide any college student to the proper decision.</p>
<p>Yuengling is pretty damn good and cheap.</p>
<p>A decent lager may not be much more expensive, but it’s an insult to the brewer to just gulp it down like a bedouin who has been traveling across the Sahara for five days. A good beer demands to be enjoyed slowly, carefully enjoying each note in the flavor. When you’re trying to get drunk, you’re drinking quickly.</p>
<p>Also, if we’re talking about at a party here (particularly frat houses), that 30% can add up real quick when you’re spending $1500/semester on beer for your parties.</p>
<p>It seems like drinking is a pretty inefficient way to get wasted (can you tell I’m an EE major…we must make something more efficient!) Why not pop a few ambiens or put a bag over your head until you black out and save some time? Or stay awake for 48 hours and start hallucinating.</p>
<p>Ambiens: require a prescription, and frankly I’d rather get drunk (since I know what my tolerance is) than pop a few pills and hope I don’t OD</p>
<p>Bag: I’m not into hypoxia</p>
<p>Sleep deprivation: stupid</p>
<p>Alcohol is cheap, pretty easy to get, and it’s relatively easy to control its effects (e.g. if it’s your first time drinking, don’t have more than three beers in one hour and see how it affects you).</p>
<p>Ambien isn’t as fun as drinking. Much less social, much more trippy. The bag and sleep thing are dumb. Alcohol is, for most people, the easiest way to get intoxicated. Even though as drugs go it’s honestly pretty crappy.</p>
<p>Pop a few Klonopin and have a beer, far more efficient way to use your money.</p>
<p>^also a far more efficient way to end up in a coma</p>
