Hillary should recomend a beer tax holiday for the summer drinking season along with the gas tax holiday.

Schlitz!$12/case!

Life is too short to drink cheap beer.

A beer at home tastes twice as good as a beer at the bar...but don't forget to tip the kids when they grab one for you out of the frig :)

Peter, where did you find that price? I just paid 9.99 for a 12 pak of Schlitz.

It is going to have to get a lot worse for me to drink Milwaukee's Best again.

I'll ride my bike before I buy/drink cheap beer. When is the last time you saw a guy on a bicycle get a DUI? EXACTLY! Here's to summer. Cheers, gents!

FYI, you can get ticketed for DWI/DUI on anything that has wheels and moves regardless of whether it has a motor or not. The only thing different are the penalties.

People are also starting to realize that some Miller and Bud have been robbing them for years. Cheaper Beers like Schlitz are just as good for less $$$$.

Back in the 70's Schlitz was the number one beer in town.

The newspapers and local news should report where to find the lowest prices on beer just like they show the low gas prices in the state/metro area.

MGM at Centerville Rd and Hwy 96. I just bought some last week and two weeks before that.

Maybe they jacked up the price since they are heavily promoting it now.

Schlitz is back to their pre-70's recipe.

Actually Buddy you can't get a DWI/DUI for riding a bicycle. You can get a ticket for public drunkenness, which doesn't go on your driving record.

A fellow that worked for me in 2000 got a DUI on his bike. Just because it isn't motorized doesn't mean you can operate it on public property while drunk. Be careful!
