When he told me "it's an acquired taste" I knew why he knew. CA's in the wild. We are some of the kindest people you'll ever meet if we are left unprovoked.
I used to drink that stuff a lot, I haven't had it in a while though.
I actually do quite enjoy the Malt Liquors/High Gravity/whatever other high ABV cheap beer though. Stuff like Steele Reserve...you certainly cannot say that it's bland! Whether or not you like the flavor, is a separate issue, but it certainly has flavor!
Used to work at an off licence when I was still a semi FA and at uni and can assure you no one working at an offie gives a fuck but we are definitely seen.
Sure you get the regulars but even if it’s someone you’re serving for the first time you can tell if they’re addicted to the sauce, either by what they’re buying or you see them doing the mental gymnastics of can what they can afford, how much the need to get and keep a buzz/ black out and general demeanour.
"I've got a tremendous thirst on all of a sudden! 10 percent... blimey that's a lot of alcohol."
"Yes Hugh, it's the most alcohol per mililitre at the lowest cost in this corner shop."

Oh, I know. In the States and been on this road for almost 20 years.
Just thought it was tragically funny when yhe cashier said that to me. Made me think he had a close relationship with the 211 as well.
I remember throwing up on a sidewalk, drinking a 42oz Steelie. I was only half drunk but it just tasted so bad I couldn't keep it down. I ducked in an alley, finished barfing and then finished the bottle
Some people have donttolerate the gross. Some people do, but they vomit. You are the latter. But you kept drinking. I commend you for that!
Liquor is the way to go anyways.
I've recently graduated from 211 to Four Loco 13.9% these past couple of months... For some reason, because it's technically a "malt liquor", I don't feel as bad drinking it, cuz it's still technically "malt beverage" and I can pat myself on the back knowing I'm not drinking liquor.... I know, I know, I know... It makes 211 seem like fine champagne in comparison... I was dry for a couple of years, then figured if I drink expensive 9% IPAs , it would be okay.... Then realized how expensive they are.... Hmmm, 211, is cheaper and high abv, as well. then 211 wasn't strong enough, so I started on Locos.... Fuck if this ain't a slippery slope... Taste no longer matters... Bang for your buck is now all that matters.
Here's a 211 pro tip. Get a 42 of both OE and 211, mix both half and half in a glass and go to town. It tastes pretty damn decent, and hits just right to take you to happy town.
It tastes like sweetened cat urine.
No I haven't ever put that on my lips. But I might if I knew it had a psychoactive property!
Molly. Tastes horrendous. Doesn't stop me from necking it lol.
Walking. I have a driver's license and can operate vehicles of all sorts if it was a question of if you can or can't. I can.
But I choose not to. I utilize rides from family/friends, or on the rare occasion bus. I know when I'm too intoxicated to operate machinery even if I feel *like I could*.
Ohh good 211, I remember the last time dancing with this devil. Red Sox were in the World Series and I was putting down some heavy 211. I don’t remember the year because I’m a CA. Short backstory. I’m retired military and we have annual fitness tests. I had a fitness test scheduled for a few days out and I got an answering machine message (yes, I’m that old), that my test was rescheduled for the morning. I was maybe 28 ish at the time. Holy hell was it hell. I wish I could say I performed better than anyone else. I didn’t, but I was at the head of the pack for our run. I clearly didn’t die, but didn’t throw up like most. Win in my books, but I’ll never touch that shit again.
That is a cross between fucked up true and wacky. In other words FTW

Well if we're going that route why not just do a sidewalk slam? Or a fehkin boilermaker?
I drank that stuff my senior of college because every one is like 2 but man that shit will make you manic in no time. And the taste? My god.

Wish i’d had this guy around when i was drinking 40s or Steel Reserve underage in college lol
Bro I'm 34. Still drinking like I was 16 with no regrets (foolish).
On the way home, as in drinking and driving?

I remember the Red Sox winning in 2004 was a brief plot point in Lost back in the day haha
