Indeed! Truly medicinal!
And of course t]for those not familiar to the area, the Genessee River and the East river in NYC have much in common.
I will say there is much worse. We had 2 kegs of Iron City (not IC Light) at a tailgate at PSU one time. On sale for $22 each.
No one was at the tailgate all day long. They were all in the porta-john lines. It was like there was something evil living in the kegs.
Being kids w/ no alternatives we just kept drinking it of course. I think my bowels burn to this day from that experience.
