I'd venture to say that Miller probably sells more High Life than MGD. I personally like the more expensive stuff, but always have 12 pack of MGD in the fridge, sometimes it hits the spot and most of my friends and family like it. I usually drink it if I plan on having more than 2-3 beers, when drinking more than that I just don't see the point in drinking the expensive stuff.

Don't be ashamed. It's the best of the cheaper beers.
People could say.. "he's smart (or stingy) with his money."
Be expected to be called "jewish."
Serve straight vodka and absinth as well.
No one will remember you served the High Life.

If I could slap you through the screen, I would. How can you be ashamed of drinking a beer that you like... you sir, are an idiot.
I think its funny that beer drinking has somehow become a knock off of wine tasting, that for some reason, the cost of your beer is comparable to the taste of it. Therefore, since your out of college its time to start drinking nothing but Heinekin, New Castle, and Becks...etc... all fine beers, but drinking them simply because you don't want to be called cheap deserves the Huge Milwaukee's best can to be dropped on your head... men should act like men...
I drink PBR and Hamms premium, not out of the cost/benefit reasoning, but because it kicks ass. I've drank it for years. When people call me cheap, I call them assholes... after all, do you want to get into a fit with a guy who drinks Pabst, or the sissy boy who's putting zima down his hatch while he makes contacts at the martini bar... yuck...
Until you man up... we Wisconsinites refuse you entry into our beloved state, and if you're already here... get out.
who in the hell drinks zima, you are slamming so called beer snobs - i doubt zima is considered a fine beer

point taken...
I just think people are idiots if they honestly believe that you're judged by the beer you drink... and if you are, then you need new friends.
I'm surprised there's that much discussion about "cheap" vs expensive beer on here. I drink a beer a day, sometimes none, rarely 2, so a 12 pack lasts 2-3 weeks. I don't care how much it costs (within reason), since a few bucks more over 3 weeks isn't a big deal. So I try stuff that I think looks interesting, that I've heard is good (occasionally from recomendations on places like letsrun), and don't care if its 6 or 15 bucks for a 12 pack- at 15 bucks you're at 1.25 a beer, same as a 20 oz coke from a machine and I would far rather have the beer.
That being said, my favorites lately: Left Hand ale, Hacker-Schorr hefeweizen, Most of the Bells brews, especially their two hearted ale, Paulaner Hefe-weizen, and Leinie's honey-wiesse. A wheat beer after a hot summer run, man that is good.

Well I ain't feelin' happy
About the shape of things in my life
But I'm workin' to make it better
With a six of Miller High Life
Just drinkin' and a-drivin'
A-makin' sure my dues get paid
Because alienation's for the rich
And I'm feelin' a-poorer every day
They Might Be Giants
Alienation's For The Rich
Are you sure Pre didn't right this?

Why are you telling us that you DO care what someone else thinks of it?
1. pre was drinking HL when he wrecked his car and had his guts and brains splattered all over his shiny little MG.
2. MAYEROFF drinks it before ass banging 7 year old thai boys.
sounds like a winning combination right???? WRONG.
I drank 10 of them and txRUNNERgirls looked halfway decent...for a pig wearing clothes.....

Rarely drink domestics? I hope you mean the low cost ones and don't put aside a good Spotted Cow, Fat Tire, Old Brown Dog Ale and the like. Shame Shame.[quote]as seen on TV wrote:

I have recently come of my high horse regarding beer, because now--since poverty has come to my door--my favorite brand is s.a.l.e. Perhaps not strangely Miller has the most and best sales on beer in my market, and it is the beer I used to like best of the cheaper beer I could buy in college and the service.
yeah, I'd like to drink only fine brew pub and foreign blue chip beers, but who can afford it?
Miller High Life is emminently drinkable and affordable.

I used to drink it...and drink it well. Then I learned that it was owned by Phillip Morris. That doesn't fly well with me.Death to smokers.
