I first had what was called a "California Cooler" at a Grateful Dead concert in Austin Texas in 1982. It was essentially a Sprite mixed with a cheap wine. As they didn't sell any beer at this concert, that was the only drink you could buy. It wasn't terrible, but 1 was all I could drink. Made for a long concert.
It was a Grateful Dead concert. I'm sure someone in that crowd could have sold you something to take the edge off.

Ugh, not even beer.  It was already a joke by my college days.  Getting one was either part of a lost bet, or a Mad Dog 20/20 challenge.

No Zima fans out there?  That predated me.
Not at all. But you can get White Claw now, which sucks.

In college, we'd often drink Red, White, and Blue, which was a cheap version of PBR, if you can fathom that.

There was a very cheap beer that some people would drink when I was in college. I believe it was from Wisconsin and called Ole Rhinelander, or something to that effect. It was absolutely the worst beer I had ever tasted. I had to be drunk before I could choke one down. I remember that the people who drank it, bought it in bottles by the case and it was something like $3 or $4 a case (this was in 1982-1987). The deposit on the bottles almost doubled the cost at the time. When you are a broke college student, you sometimes resort to some pretty bad choices.
It was just plain old Rhinelander. Lots of people referred to Olympia as Ole back in those days. Equally sucked too.

Falstaff? Huber? Schlitz?

No, that was a premium beer compared to Ole Rhielander.

We humans like getting a buzz apparently and beverage makes are rather clever at devising new flavors to provide same.

Probably, but not my style. 

When we parked in a field close to the race track that held the concert, some guy in a white van parked opposite our car. He got out, opened the back of the van, pulled out a table and set up all different sorts of drugs for sale. Needless to say, I avoided that table and many others trying to make a profit. I drank beer, but that was about the extent of it.

Oh. That was many years ago and I guess I remember it being called Ole Rhinelander. But thanks for the info.

Back in the 50/60/70's Schlitz was right behind the Bud/Miller behemoth's somehow they screwed up a good thing - Pabst too

It's alcoholic seltzer water that comes in various fruit-themed flavors.

Chicks that don't like beer, like it, because it can get you drunk and it's not beer.  Dudes that work out a lot and want to show off their abs drink it, because it's lower in carbs than beer.

Fathom should never be used in the same sentence as R,W&B or even Pabst
