I lived in a small Alabama town in a dry county growing up (Etowah county). Just across the river, in St. Clair county, was Bearden's bait and tackle, which would sell beer to 15 and 16 year old kids who "made the run." We had all kinds of "detours" off the highway to dodge the cops who sat waiting for cars of teenage boys who left and then came back in 20 mins.

I always got "Schlitz Malt Liquor" for some unknown reason!

I can hardly stand the taste of any domestic beer nowadays. I love Mexican beer, Japanese beer, European brews, and Ozzie beer. I even like Kenyan (Tusker) and Indian (Kingfisher). The only US brands I like are Sam Adams and Killians. My wife likes Bud light with lime.

Of course, nowadays, I only drink one or two, and in those days, I drank till I could not stand up.
