UBDA Best cheap beer?

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU VOTE!!!!!!


ok so i work at a local grocery chain and got asked this by a group of frat boy wanna bees, and the discussion went on from there amonst us working peeps so here is the scenario.

You have to get a 12 pack of beer. you only have $8.00, and it has to be a 12 pack, what do you go with??

the choices (pole to follow shortly)

Miller High Life...$6.99
Keystone Light...$6.59
Milwaukees Best Ice...$6.59
Milwaukees Best...$6.59
Old Milwaukee...$6.99
Pabst Blue Ribbon...$7.39
IceHouse...$7.42
Steel Reserve...$6.29
Busch...$6.99
Natural Ice...$6.59

BTW the ammount of money we discussed was just over 7 dollars but that only gave 8 choices and i like having 10 in a pole so calling icehouse is a cop out IMO... unless joo has a decent reason like "its UBER TEH BEST"

Also none of the "lights" were included in beers that came as non-light because if you would have chosen a high life light, Busch Light, Natty Light, Milwaukees Best Light, then

keystone gets in as there is no "keysone beer"

should be a multi type deal, cause I choose keystone, BUT I like papbts blue ribbon too, and others.. just depends what I want to drink. Multi answer would allow us a more popular feel to this thread.

all I was trying to say was it depends. I always got tired of the heavy beer tastes. Sometimes I wanted something lighter.. then sometimes heavier or whatev. I like PBR too!

Not so sure about that....I've had that stuff twice and both times I blacked out HARD.

Also...where's Beast Light and High Life Light? I'd go with High Life Light.

I went with the HighLife... It's not bad and that advertising campaign has gotten to me over the years and convinced me that they are good people. However, if the potential raging alcoholic in me is having a binge, I would look to see which one had the higher alcohol content... which I think would be Icehouse or Nat. Ice.
