Old Mil Light in early 20s because we were flat broke and it was $2.50/case at Osco
Finally discovered better beer like Shiner Bock, Wursteiner and Blvd Pale Ale - never willingly bought corporate piss water again
Moved to SF: drank so much Sierra Nevada Pale Ale I can't look at the stuff now - worst hangovers
Moved to LA: discovered Chimay and Belgian beers - had to eventually swear them off due to carbs and extreme drunkennes
Recently found Tank 7 in my local supermarket - woo hoo! But still barely drink beer because I don't want to weigh 500 lbs.

When I was at Mizzou in the late 1970's it was all about buying quantity of beer. Southside liquors had the biggest cheap beer collection, with the following outstanding swill products available by the case in brown longneck bottles or clear longneck bottles:
905 Beer
Weideman's Beer
Red White and Blue Beer
Grain Belt Beer
Schmidt's Beer
Schaeffer Beer
Carling Black Label Beer
Stag Beer
Little Kings Malt Liquor (in small green bottles)
Mickey's Big Mouth Malt Liquor (in green keg shaped bottles)
There was no "Light Beer" at the time. Light beer was Coors original.
If it was a special occasion, we'd get a keg of Busch.
Budweiser was high rollin'.
I also drank a shitload of Busch beer in my youth. I still stock by back porch beer fridge with it for lawn mowing beer. I'll also drink a can of Hamm's once in a blue moon. Don't care for PBR, and Schlitz was the first beer I got drunk/sick on when I was 14, so I still can't handle it's funky whang.
