So drunk in the August sun

So, if you had to pick only one season in which to have a buzz, which would it be? Trick question, the answer is all of them. Still there is something special about the summer beer buzz. The bright light and the beverages seem so illicit. Unfortunately, in the hot sun, people turn to weak ass beers like Miller High Live or their foreign equivalents like Heineken. What you need is something cool and refreshing, but not so weak as to make drinking it a waste of time. What is needed is something with the friendly face of this, but the dark heart of this. The obvious answer is the mojito. For that you need lots of ingredients, some time, and a mack daddy mixologist. Not an easy combo for every occasion. For these other events, I recommend Golden Shower by Dog Fish Head. Yes the name is preposterous, but who cares? Do you really want to hang around anyone who would be offended by the name? This is a light tasting beer that is 9% ABV. What else do you need to know?

Where do you stand on Mexican beer (Dos Equis, Tecate, Corona, etc.) w/ fresh lime? That's one of my favorite summer buzz inducers...so good with salty tortilla chips and salsa.

It's fine, tasting nice and all, except you have to drink about six thousand of them to get a buzz. That's probably just me though.
