Aw come on, God. You strand me in a snow drift and all you've got for me to drink is LIGHT BEER?!?

There's food value in beer, but no beer value in food. Except when the "beer" in question is Coors Light, in which case it barely has water value much less food value ;)

I read that in Biff's (Back to the Future) voice.


That's what I heard when I typed it ;)

Between the frozen water and alcohol I think his body survived despite drinking Coors Light.

iBet he had an iPhone. Mine loses signal in urban areas.

I have to ask, how did the beer help?

Coors light has minmal calories, and it takes longer than 3 days to starve to death.

Eating ice/snow is already a no no, hurts more than it helps usually.
Same with consuming alcohol, lowers your core temp

oh screw it, it's a mail online article. it's probably made up to begin with

Little known fact: St. Bernard's don't carry brandy. They carry Coors Light.

He couldn't drink his own urine, so he drank somebody else's urine?

Hi Pete

Hi Pete
Thats what I typed

Ecccchhhhhhhhhhh. Coors Blight is a malt beverage I WILL NOT DRINK. I don't car if it's August and I just mowed the lawn.

The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves: He couldn't drink his own urine, so he drank somebody else's urine?

Our little joke when we leave to go to the men's room is "I have to go make some Heineken."
I 'll drink Coors Light before I'll drink any of the (mass produced beers that I've heard of) in a green bottle. Not my first choice in beer, but I'd also put Coors Light above Bud Light and Miller Lite...strictly speaking on terms of drinking stuff that has no flavor and burns a hole my stomach.

That said, if anyone has any good suggestions for a different beer this winter, I'm listening. Stouts and other darker, heavier beers preferred

I never buy Heiny either, but I would take it over Coors Blight. Not a fan of stout, but Yuengling Black And Tan is tasty and not too pricey. Their Traditional lager is in a green bottle, I'll drink it. You'd probably like their Porter.

Nana's Vibrator: green bottle

Or clear. Light destroys beer. I've always found Heineken, Corona, and Newcastle to have a high percentage of skunked beers.

In a double blind test I highly doubt you could tell the difference.

Trois Pistoles

Is tasty beer. Coors is a sad drink. Man up and drink a real beer or mix some spirits with a pop. Dont half ass your drinks.

Between Bud Light and Coors Light probably. Miller Lite has a slightly different taste that isn't quite as watery.

I've never done a double blind test myself, just seen other people do it -- and of all the yellow American Beers Strohs is the only one with a distinctive flavor. I might be able to tell the difference if it was in the lineup. The rest are just starchy yellow water with ne'er a hint of character.

How the beer industry has managed to pawn this shiat off as multiple brands for the last 80 years is amazing.

I like Fat Tire. I can no longer drink pilsners, they have no flavor.

So did he get cited for having an open container when he was found?

I quit drinking when I was 25 and I'm not entirely sure that drinking a Coors would qualify as falling off the wagon.

+1 for Yuengling, and then an extra point for Yuengling's porter.

I was at a concert Friday and one of the announcers thanked the sponsor, Bud Light, for all the beer. I thought it was damn nice of Bud Light to spring for all that Shiner.

I'm not much of a beer drinker, so when I'm out with beer drinkers, i'll get bud light since it's almost just water and it's easier to remember for whoever's buying. I can taste a difference with Coors light. That stuff is tastes like I imagine sewer runoff water tastes like.

It would be more shameful. And in any state that's not Colorado, it's a double secret probation violation.

nope, it is a local story here. Another link:

There is no god.

When Vial failed to turn up for work the next day, co-workers patrolled the area - and alerted the police when he failed to show up for a second shift.

Annnnnd was promptly fired for missing two days of work.

/USA! USA!

Friend and I stopped at a beer joint and shot some pool. He drank one bud light over about 3 hours. He was driving and I was drinking Negra Modelos. I didn't know that he had promised his wife he wasn't ever going to drink again. Got back to his house and she asked where we'd been and I said and she asked if he drank at the bar...I said he had one bud light over three hours, I don't think that really even counts as drinking. She had a biatch fit and they fought for three or four days about that one bud light.

Reckon it depends on who's the judge of if it counts or not.

So the moral to this story is - if you're stranded in a snow drift, drink goat urine.

Dunkel weissbier FTW

I'd have gnawed my toes and fingers first.

Maybe Highlife. Elysan's Dragontooth, or Mc'M's Hammerhead now that's beer.

PatGund: So the moral to this story is - if you're stranded in a snow drift, drink goat urine.

I agree....

Goat urine would definitely be better than the Coors lite

this story is full of holes.

number 1, 3 days with only beer. and there talking about how hungry he was? what about thirsty???

number 2, what was he doing again?

number 3, did anyone go out and buy beer or drink beer after reading this?

sheep...

Done in two.

PatGund: So the moral to this story is - if you're stranded in a snow drift, drink goat urine.

Goat urine, Coors Light; pretty much the same thing.

13 years of no, or lousy, beer can do wonders to reset the national taste buds.
