If Alcohol Labels Were More Realistic

December 19th, 2008 | 12:48 pm
When you purchase alcohol, whether, it's beer or liquor, it's important you know what it says about you, and the night you may have if you drink it.  So, we decided to show you.

    PBR, Natty Lite, or anything from the Bud family, you can't deny this:

    it goes in like it comes out: like piss.

    "Still a Beer" wonderful! Yeah, I really don't gets what's so special about Stella.

  3. Anonymous Says:

    Stella tastes like an American macrobrew commercial makes you think their beer is gonna taste like... It's the bomb, but it's still just a super light lager (still a beer), so I usually only drink it icy-cold on an extra-hot summer day. The rest of the summer, it usually Pilsner Urquell or Grolsch - mmmm... hoppy pilsener... Or maybe Dos Equis with lime... or a gin & tonic... or...

    Stella has relied on their ad campaign to make people think it tastes better. In actuality, it has failed every single taste test it has every conducted. Even against Bud. So, congrats, you have been duped. Now, you look like an even bigger ass than you did when you first ordered it.

  5. stdg Says:

    Stella is just like any other Belgian lager: a nice refreshing beer, with good alcohol content (no Belgian beer has less than 5%). Stella is meant to drink all night. If you want the real good stuff, you should come and taste the Belgian beers brewed by monks (there's lots of them). Some are dark and bitter, some are blond and sweet, all of them are strong. Actualy, I should make a list like this with the side efects of some of the strong Belgian beers, but then again, I have to get some work done...

    You, sir, know exactly what the fuck you're talking about. Delirium Tremens is the fuckin' SHIT, but it tastes about 10,000 times better in Belgium than it does in the States. Duvel, Kasteel, Westmalle, Karmeliet, Grimbergen, or even Hoegaarden ... after having those, I'd rather drink the pus out of Rosie O'Donnell's boils than drink Bud, Miller, Michelob, etc.

    I have drank them all.i like all beers although american domestic is my fav.Quit being frickin beer snobs and enjoy what you drink.

    American beer doesn't have to taste like shit. Sam Adams is a great american brew co. Although I prefer Sierra Nevada or Stone, real American beers.

  9. drink drank drunk Says:

    i enjoy all beer and have consumed atleast one of each
    i used to drink cheap beer namely bush good for the price
    back in high school
    now at the ripe young age of 23 i usually drink beer from a bottle of course i live in oregon which is known for its excellent breweries live long drink less

  10. Lain Says:

    Mmmm, Sam Adams. Love their seasonal brews. Love the Sierra Nevada too. Screw the pretentious imports, and screw the shitty college-kid stuff. Natty, PBR (Christ, my dad drank that forever--it was nasty then, it's nasty now)... all those cheap beers are nasty. That being said, gimme some Crown or 7&7--if I'm gonna drink, I prefer to get fucked up for less volume. No sense in getting bloated/taking 30 pisses/beer farts/diarrhea when I can just drink some damn fine liquor instead. I'm no snob, but I like what I like. Oh, and that Mexican beer is shit too. Keep it south of the border where it belongs. Kthx. <3

    This label insinuates that someone on probation because of D.U.I.s would drink O'Doul's.

    You guys are so lame. Im sure you think you look really cool drinking your fancy beer that tastes like shit and costs twice as much as a domestic beer.

    Tony, quit being such a homo and get your head out of your ass.

    Duvel or Leffe - 4 or 5 bottles of that'll fuck your shit right up. Dalwhinnie/Oban/Laphroaig are nice scotch whiskies as well...

  17. kigol Says:

    I like Stella because I am a fan of Belgium beer in general, and not because of image you tool. Also Peroni, Polar Ice, Kirin, and Tiger are all good as well. For domestic I prefer Coors but will drink anything really.

  18. Scott Says:

    PBR is trendy now. Back in my day it was Black Label that was trendy. Both are absolute shit, but are gladly drank by poor kids every where.

    Miller light, Bud light, whatever.. It only takes drinking 16 of them to get you drunk, which I guess is cool if you start drinking at 11am in the morning.

    After years of experience I've settled on, 3-24oz cans of Icehouse, half a pint of Jack Daniels and countless bong hits.

  19. I hate ButtWieper Says:

    Hey. You da man. IceHouse rules. The 24oz king can is your friend. I have drank the best and still do at times, but I always have a stash of IceHouses to get the party started, and ended !!

    Icehouse rules!!!!

    I enjoy a nice IPA microbrew>this makes me look like a trendy douchebag>as does the fact that I drink PBR regularly>as does the fact that I wear American Apparel and Asics>etc. etc.

    All of this doesn't change the fact that I pick my nose, listen to Hüsker Dü, play in a band that sounds like Cheap Trick got fucked by the Melvins, and like going to class more than I like going to shows.

    To hell with all of you lable-makers. That shit only matters as much as you think it does, and in fact, it's one of the most fun things you can do to mix people up by mixing up traits they could label you by.

    And regarding all you people who say that all low-end domestics taste the same, fuck off. That shit is ignorant. Natty tastes like rice, Miller tastes like bread, Bud Light tastes like apples, and Stroh's/PBR are way hoppier than all the others, I think. Have you ever thought it possible that developing your palate for the shitty stuff might enhance it for the good stuff? What it's done for me, at the very least, is allowed me to realize that pricey midshelf domestics (Honey Brown, Blue Moon, etc., with the exception of Sierra Nevada), and half-assed imports (Stella, Heini, Red Stripe), have little to no superiority.

    Oh, and one more thing: Bud Light is the best beer.

    Now that I've taken the time to troll/pwn this stupid thread, I've realized that the very action of it negates any gains in self-esteem it might have brought me, and I'm going to go put a shotgun in my mouth.

    Merry Christmas!

  22. Lain Says:

    Wait, can I pull the trigger?

    Get the fuck over yourself. You're trying so hard to be "unidentifiable," that you come off as a moron. You're not any better than anyone else who has stated his/her tastes, you're just another person. You think you're special, but you're not. I hope that train and/or bullet doesn't kill you so you can see how completely average you truly are. Doesn't it suck being so completely ordinary?

  23. Anonymous Says:

    P.S. Bud Light is still the best beer, and I realize that I misspelled "label". Now I'm gonna go jump in front of a train instead.

    Bud products are brewed in a horse.

  29. ShinerFatTire Says:

    MOST DOMESTICS SUCK! Budweiser products are by far the shittiest ever brewed. It's piss water. Coors Light blows, Coors blows, Miller Light blows (but I drink it at concerts b/c you dont have much of a choice). MGD is okay. Sam Adams has some gems, but I prefer imports and micro breweries. Anybody heard of New Belgium out of Colorado? Fat Tire? St. Arnold's? Shiner Bock? Shiner Black? Shiner Heffewiezen? Shiner 99? Lawnmower? Those are all brewed in TX. They all have a great Belgian and Czech influence. ST. PAULIE GIRL! It tastes like bud, I swear. It goes great with a doobie. I'm also a big Heinekin man. When it comes to liquor, the only thing that comes close to Jack Daniels is greatness is Crown Royal.

    You may know beer but you obviously dont know burbon. Makers Mark all the way.

    Nor do you.

    Neither Jack nor Crown are bourbons. They're whiskeys.

    During the (GRD) great republican depression, Americans will extend their abilities and many of them will find they have a talent for home-brewing! Making home brew pays big time, once you get the swing of it! You get the beer you want and for very little cash! Half the neighborhood can get smashed on just one keg of home brew and the cost in minimal. As times get tougher and cash gets scarcer, we can always count on home brew to get us through!

    you guys realize Stella and Bud are the same company? mean while I picked up case of samplers from Red Hook....has a blonde, pale, winter brew, and ESB. All have been pretty good. 1st time I've tried them, not bad. FWIW.

    This is the first I've ever heard of PBR being trendy. I think it's just a decent beer to buy when you feel like drinking on a budget.

  43. Anonymous Says:

    where I live (SF) pbr is hipster juice

  44. Anonymous Says:

    It's not that PBR is trendy, it's just that it's cheap, therefore a popular choice among high school and college students who drink on a budget. The "Trying Hard to be Cool" refers to kids drinking PBR just to get drunk and fit in, not saying that it is in any way trendy like some sort of cosmo.

    i drink hertog jan in the netherlands you have the best beer of the world and you get easelly layd when your drunk

  46. TheElder Says:

    Technically Budweiser products don't even qualify as beer...a true beer involves traditional ingredients like hops and barley.....Budweiser's main ingredient is rice...so it actually is closer to Japanese Sake than anything else.

  47. Anonymous Says:

    yeah theyre called american adjunct lagers, cuz they use cheap shit like rice and corn instead of hops and malt

  48. Anonymous Says:

    I drink the FUCK out of PBR, Guinness, Sam Adams, Mickey's, Old Rasputain Imperial Stouts, Budwiser American ale is great for the price, and honestly I'm no snob but anything with the word "Light" or "Lite" for you Miller Fans, tastes like diluted piss to me. Miller I can handle, it has an actual flavor to it. Bud and Coors though, litterally tastes like water with some alcohol, terrible traces of dicetyl which is a no no in lagers, and like maybe someone dropped a few pinches of a hop leaf in the kettle. Michelobe's Variety packs are pretty good and i drank a lot of amber bock in high school, but alot of imports really aren't worth it (Red Stripe was pretty much american beer but I tasted some bananna esters from the yeast.) Boulvard from KS City, MS is FIRE as well as New Belgium. Go down to the Flying Saucer, they have more beer than you could shake a stick at,
