It is if you're an American and you drink it here in America.

Hate to break this to you guys but running is a yuppie sport. If you don't think so start talking about running to a bunch of truck drivers or construction workers. Show up in your tights and shorty shorts. You will not feel like you belong.

Now I LOVE running, but yep, it's yuppie for sure. Maybe not as yuppie as biking, but dang yuppiefied fo sho.

I'm not a yuppie, I'm a metrosexual.

Oh yeah, there are lots of white trash beers.

So where does my ballpark favorite, Stroh's, fit? And am I still a yuppie if my import is Foster's (the garbage can o' beer)?

And to this I take exception...

Guiness, mind you, is not a drink; it's a FOOD! Food for the blood.

My motto: If you can see through it - don't drink it!

(The true dyed-in-the-wool, frustrated-uptight-neurotic-yuppie prick would always choose a "diet" beer.)

this post just proves flagpole willy's point:

some guy, posting on the an internet message board under the handle of "sooner",is trying to educate the world about the finer qualities of guiness stout.

if there was ever a yuppie thing to do - this was it.

Damn straight my brother! If a person thinks a beer has a quality other than to get them drunk, then that person is drinking a yuppie beer. But Future Doctor, you said it first and you said it best, so you get the CRED.

Excellent post there Future Doctor.

I think everybody is a yuppie to somebody. I drive an old rusted out Jeep, go camping and fishing, and only drink when I want to get lit. But I have a 9 to 5 that pays well and I don't get dirty (except my thoughts about the women I work around). So I really think you bitches that drink beer that sounds cool cause its an import are yuppies.
