Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
We'd be remiss to allow an entire College Week to pass without mention of the college life's main goal (well, you know except for the main-main one): procuring, hoarding and drinking booze.
It's a universal feeling, the simultaneous confusion and wistful nostalgia that comes with the memory of one's former "signature" drink. What the hell was I thinking?! And, God how I miss those simpler days. When dates didn't order $12 cocktails and browsing a beer list was nothing like cracking a textbook full of foreign words.
So we're here with a retrospective to remind you of the good old days, or the good new ones to come. These are in no particular order, because let's be real, each is as awful as the last. Pour out a little (very little) Deschutes Obsidian Stout in their honor.
Beer: Lonestar, Natty Light, PBR, Keystone Light, Bud Light, Milwaukee's Best, Busch Light, Miller High Life, Power Hours, Beirut
Wine and Wine Coolers: Franzia, Carlo Rossi, Bartles & Jaymes (Fuzzie Navel), Two-Buck Chuck, Andre (for special occasions), Boones Farm (Note: The Corner Bar sells Boones by the bottle. For date night. May we suggest Strawberry Hill?)
"Premium" Malt Beverages: Smirnoff Ice, Bacardi Breeze, Mike's Hard Lemonade, Skyy Blue, Zima (RIP), Colt 45, Mad Dog, Edward Fortyhands
Liquor: Jello Shots, Jager Bombs, Malibu (straight, if you please), McCormick's vodka, Screwdrivers, Everclear (trashcan punch), body shots, quarters
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
