I like a good bourbon, a good whiskey and, lately I've gotten into good tequila.

however, nothing like chugging a few beers with tunes cranked. Where were you when it happened? - Page 2 3493939353

Nothing XXX rated - I was never good with ladies.. more like waking up face down in a field.. and couldn't remember how I got there.

Shit, at least upgrade to a Coors banquet, Budweiser, literally anything but a bud light. If you want, I can send you 24 bottles of my pee for cheaper.

How much we talking here?

Speaking of your NASCAR rip on me, I sat next to a lady at the dealership I was at on Monday getting the fiancee's car fixed. She was watching ESPN next to me. She started BITCHING about the athletes kneeling/protesting peacefully. I said "Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I am okay with any peaceful protests, etc." trying to shut her up.

She retorts, "Well, it's AMERICA! Get the hell out if you don't like it here!" I just said, "Well there's definitely no swaying your opinion then, you're set in your ways." "Well, I'm a NASCAR fan, I suppose that's why I feel that way!!!" I just got up and walked around outside looking at the new cars.

You handled that well. I suppose you could've tried changing the subject, maybe asked if she likes Bud Light.

I like a good craft beer every now and then.. it's not that I don't like it.. it's just that sometimes I don't want to put a bunch of thought into what I'm drinking. Just give me a f**king beer.

That beer chalkboard at Meat is very wordy.

Tequila ginger is a good mix, as well as whiskey ginger. You heard it here first.

At the bar where we were watching the ND game, they (someone affiliated with a beer company), came up and asked us to do a beer test. We would look at the color and say which had more color. Then they'd ask us to smell it and ask which smelled better. Then they had us taste it and say which one tasted better.

Turns out it was Bud Light vs Miller Light. Miller Light had better color and more taste (I didn't notice a big smell difference), though it's like asking if dog piss or cat piss tastes better. The people were obviously from Miller. Then they gave us one of those aluminum bottles of Miller light. I'm like "ok, well, free beer, sure." Took one sip, and set it aside, and didn't drink any more of it.

So I guess I'm a beer snob. I'm not exclusive to craft beer, but if not craft beer, I'm usually drinking a Guinness or Boddingtons, or even Heineken if it's between that and Bud or Miller. If I'm somewhere that I'm getting drunk, then I don't care. I'll drink the Bud Light, Miller Light, whatever. But if I'm just relaxing watching a game, I go for something better.

When UM was about to punt, I got up and started cursing, knew the game was over. As soon as the miff happened, I screamed "GO GO GO HOLY FUCKING SHIT" as loud as I could, hopping around the apartment on one knee, not caring who heard how loud I could go.

I laughed for a good thirty minutes afterwards with small sprinkles of "Oh my God..." mixed in. I got tons of shit-talking texts right before that punt, and it made things oh so sweet to reply to those. I just replied, "I didn't see the end, what happened????"

Bud light, death roe? Jesus Christ. Get a hold of yourself.

I was provided a single ticket so I sat away from my buddies. Right after we're stopped on 4th down I hit the concourse to go to the corner where my buddies will come out. Just couldn't handle seeing Michigan grab Paul Bunyan and celebrate. So I head down to Section 7, the corner, and I see this older Michigan fan (in his 60's and wearing stupid shorts in 40 degrees) playing The Victors on a stupid harmonica. He's dancing around like he's a court jester that wears those stupid pointy hats.
And as MSU fans like me who have given up hope exit the stadium to the concourse he gets closer to them and plays his little harmonica in a taunting way. I'm looking at this db and I'm thinking how much I hate his guts.
We'll then it happens. I hear a collective groan. I had no idea what was going on. So I race up to the tunnel to see a huge MSU celebration in the opposite corner. It's chaos. The guy next to me didn't know what had happened because he had done the same thing. Quickly I look at scoreboard and whatever happened (block, punt return) it’s clear it’s glorious.
Then I immediately look behind me and see Mr. Harmonica with a blank look on his face and I immediately, without thinking, smile and tell him he can "shove that harmonica up your ass." I'm not proud of saying it, but the look on his face at that very moment has me in tears as I type this.
So, yes, I should forever feel shame because I left early and didn't see the play. But sometimes an idiot breaks out his harmonica a little too soon.

Not to derail the thread, but at the B1GCG against OSU, some OSU fans sat next to us and before the game, the old man made it a point to tell me that they had the best damn band in the land! He said it in on of those condescending, you guys don't really belong here kind of ways. As the game unfolded, the dude kept getting cockier and more obnoxious. Finally, when Langford broke that run that put them away, they got up to leave and I told them. "Hey man, congratulations on your band!"

Had a similar incident with a buckeye fan at a bar in Key West. Cocky, arrogant, and loud AF, minus the chit chat about the band.

So $5 would get you a 12 pack and a few gallons of gas to go cruise the back roads.
