I got a 30 gal air compressor and a roll away tool box. I can't play with them yet 'cause I got sick late yesterday and right now I sould like Barry White. I did go out and last night and have the impact wrench make the "nascar noise" for my family. I have the best family.....

Is that a high income family, or just a high family?

I don't smoke but I would be pissed if someone gave me Bud too.

haha, actually i like budweiser and budlight. i dont like millerlite very much. im not complaining. free beer is the best beer.

the pot and beer were secret though, if my dad or grandma would have found out about my presents, all of us would have been shot. this is definately the weirdest christmas ive ever had.

yeah they do have the best commercials, Americans will buy anything if you advertize enough.

for one thing its made with rice, which doesn't belong in beer.for another thing the flavor/price ratio.If I'm gonna drink CHEAP beer, they better sell it cheap.

actually, Bud, Coors, and Miller are all like making love in a canoe, but I can't explain that here, so I'll say they are all close to dirty bathwater.

Yup. Rice and other "select grains" they call adjuncts. It could have rice, corn, wheat, alfalfa etc. you get the picture. My mom was a chemical engineer for Dow Chemical. She toured the bud brewery more than once. Bud used to buy propylene glycol from Dow, a sort of antifreeze, for their beer. It was supposed to help the taste stay consistent at pretty much any temp.

The Germans have a law that in their country, you can only use water, yeast, hops and barley to brew the beer. Apparently bud uses whatever will ferment. German beer carbonates on it's own, bud has Co2 towers they carbonate theirs with.

In short, it's crap. Cheap (to make) guzzle brew. Good to get a buzz, a headache, heartburn and depending on the "adjuncts" used in that batch, the runs. Finally, the taste. I guess if it's all you know, you become used to it. My personal favorite is Tecate. Made in Mexico, smooth and never has given me a headache. Just my 2 pennies.

Could the headache be from that trace element in beer called embalming fluid?
Sorry just kidding, don’t mean to start anything this early
