The next 4 games after the Bye week

5. Why am I seeing guys drinking White Claw and Truly in commercials? Seriously?

You can bury White Claw, Truly, and Twisted Tea (or Tweas as the kids call 'em) at the bottom of the ocean as far as I'm concerned. The taste is horrible. But there is a beer alternative that I do like quite a bit. The Smirnoff Ice No Sugar. It's super clean and only 100 cals.

I like Beer, I like Seltzers. I like Beer in specific situations. Sports -> Beer. Meals at a restaurant -> Beer. I like Seltzers more for recreational drinking. They’re cleaner for me. I don’t feel as sluggish after a Seltzer as I do with a lot of Beers, especially if you’re in the 3+ drinks situation. We’re drinking a lot less at home now, so buying one thing and sharing it is better than buying different things for each of us and then having them sitting in the fridge for a while. Also the Seltzer section of the liquor store is pretty standardized. I know which ones I like. I can just go in and grab one and get out. The beer sections, I tend to wander around looking at all the craft brew options, trying to figure out which local thing I want this time and figure out which ones suit my palette and which ones are the hopmasters that only brewers and beer heads love.

Press is my preferred brand of Seltzer. High noon is also good.

lmao, oh yeah. Young dudes are trying to 'keep that calorie intake low, bro'. Beer is a declining category with the 35 and under in a big way. These hard seltzers/hard vodkas are on fire, they taste way better than that Bud Light/Miller Lite weak ass shit. Kids aren't slamming 250-300 calorie full flavored beers anymore unless they live in Colorado and are 35 lbs overweight.

LOL, thats funny,  just yesterday I saw a friend of my sons,  about 6'3 and maybe 170 soaking wet,  but pretty much ripped body tone wise ( fucking genetics)  and he was pounding Coors Heavies Pounders.  We dont see a lot of guys in this part of the country drinking those things,  beer is still king unless you are mixing and then its typically some sort of whiskey.

If you work out or your job is construction and hard outdoor work, hell you can drink melted butter all day and still be ripped when you are young. The 3 summers off of college I worked for my Uncle who was a contractor, the only thing to drink on the worksite was beer. No water, just coolers of beer. Building cottages, putting on new roofs, cement work, general labor stuff and I was ripped like hell. But if you are a younger bro and your job is white collar and you don't hit the gym, those calories will catch up to you quick. 

Alcohol consumption is lower than its been since Prohibition. North and South Dakota have the highest beer drinking percentages in the country by state per capita, with North Dakota #1. Beer isn't king anywhere else, its significantly down. Lots of alternatives.

well its still pretty popular with the kids,  but we have some regional "advantages" that lead to our rankings in the king of beer consumption battle...... of all the evil shit we did to the native population of North America, as European settlers,  I think the worst thing was introducing them to alcohol and then putting them on the reservations with nothing else to do.
