I've met quite a number of Australians both in Australia and in the US. Perhaps two or three of them considered Bud Light to be any better than piss water.

Also I'm 90% certain that horses, conspicuously masculine or otherwise, have never been featured in commercials for Bud Light. That's the Budweiser/Bud Heavy branding.

Always have to point out that Budweiser is not an American beer company.

Also there is nothing that outs you as an insecure beta faster than using the phrase "alpha male"

Yeah, that America's Army game took a lot of the heat because it was so blatant, but really most of those FPSes seem to be fully integrated into MIC propaganda

the funniest bit of that game was that all the terrorist rifles were better. ak47 was deadlier due to being 7.62, and mosin was a far better rifle than remington simply because it had a lovely 2x scope, while remington had 8x or some poo poo which is completely useless on those counterstrike-rear end maps

Icehouse edge is legit great compared to either steel reserve or hurricane and the last thing I drank regularly. It's barely worse than your typical ice beers, stronger and cheaper generally. Wow!

Malt liquor hot takes:

Hurricane is good in a can but not a bottle
Colt 45 is good in a glass bottle but not a can
Steel Reserve should only be consumed out of an unbreakable plastic bottle because after you drink it trying to break the bottle will give you all sorts of entertainment
OE is always good in any vessel, as long as it's cold
Never drink Magnum or King Cobra, King Cobra tastes like dust and Magnum tastes like metal shavings
The greatest malt liquor of all time is Schlitz. It's actually better than their real beer
White Claw is malt liquor
White Claw makes a high gravity version that is as strong as Steel Reserve, the first can is terrible but the second is delicious, just a few cans gets you a first class ticket to the dark oblivion of Blackout Town

in college i used to drink 2 OE 40s down to 1 finger width below the top of the label, then pour in instant rice to fill it back up to where its original volume was and then drink them both and that was dinner and a pregame.

had a friend once who was visiting the US from Europe over a summer. he was real excited to try 4loko. he got two of em and drank em over the course of a few hours at a party, which wound down around 1am.

next day we couldn't find him or contact him. couple phone calls later and we determined he had been picked up for drunk in public at like 6am, wandering around the touristy part of town. he did not remember any of that. poor guy was sitting in the county jail with what must have been a massive 4loko hangover.

Every party I went to in the Summer or Fall of 2010 had some kind of couple breaking up in a spectacular horrible house destroying way or two best friends getting into a way too serious fistfight or some other such thing, clanging screeching destructive violent insane drama, always because all people involved had had two or three four lokos.

It was incredibly jangling to the nerves, but those effects could be palliated by drinking some four loko yourself

Exploration is ill-advised.
I feel like a lot of the 4loko stuff has gotta be placebo effect, but also sounds like it was the right mix of easily drinkable and alcoholic and caffienated enough to give you lots of bad ideas and the energy to do them.

Didn't each one of those things have like slightly more booze in it than the average bottle of wine? I suspect evenings did get quite crazy that started out with the equivalent of doing 10 shots.

"Four cans of alcoholic beverage" sounds like a standard night, but Four Loko is huge and has way more alcohol than it tastes like it should. That's the equivalent of drinking 23 cans of PBR, and six coffees.
