Drink of choice for serious listening?

jbmac75, that’s pretty low end even in the 7 Eleven beer world, but there’s nothing wrong with that. Drink what you like. Its all alcohol. But sometimes I love an ice cold Bud....not Lite....on a summer day.@stevecham Nothing wrong with abstinence... 
Flaws in this chain?
