What does he i mean by "relatively?" I asked him if I could reflect on my ex- periences with the opposite sex. He said, "Go ahead," but I changed my mind - some of these people might still be liv- ing. So instead I've decided to do the community a service and judge the relative merits of the most commonly consumedf beers. You must realize, of course, that for any beer you drink, there's always some exclusive foreign import hidden away on the shelves of obscure import shops somewhere that absolute- ly puts your favorite brew to shame. We'll overlook these beers and concentrate instead on products that fall within a college stu- dent's price range. For my money (and likewise for yours), you can't beat Stroh's. Perhaps I am preju- diced in saying this - my de- tractors will call me a candy- . beer drinker for sure - but Detroit's own is the lightest, most refreshing cold beverage you can drink. And it packs a wallop besides. There are, however, those{ who subscribe to the Budweiser school of drinking. Under this heading falls Bud, Schlitz, Pabst, and perhaps a few oth- er 'populars' - beers that have a more distinct taste. In my mind, these beers fall far short of Stroh's tradition of I excellence, not because they're insincere in their efforts, but be-:! cause they fail to meet the ele- mentary prerequisites I've set for my beers. Bitterness and a distinct after- aste are normally the signs of really cheap brew, yet even udweiser afficionados will at- ribute these traits to their fa- 'orite. It just doesn't happen ith Stroh's. But while on the subject of cheap beers, Old Milwaukee re- mains the steal for its usual sub- buck and a half price. Schaefer, too, is good in a pinch, but other than these, you might as well forget it. Therefore, as years of person- I experimentation will testify, ne can unhesitantly classify the never let me down. Finally, for those whose only intent is to get down-home schnockered, I understand that Miller High Life hasathe highest alcoholic content of all commer- cial beers.
