oh HELL no!

That shit is almost liquid meth to begin with, then you add alcohol? I used to work for UPS and we would just pound those shits mid-route to stay awake. It was like sticking a tazer in your taint and pulling the trigger, while biting a strip of aluminum foil.

And at 5%, this is damn near like 4 Loko

Fuck!

Naw, brah. Four Loko is like 10% alcohol with all the caffeine. Hard Mountain Dew is a great way to teach your 10 year old Doritos loving kid good drinking habits early on in life.

Hillbilly swill? No thanks. I am old enough to remember when the little green bottles were emblazoned with a stereotypical hillbilly with a jug of moonshine.

WTF Pubs in britain are dying
This has been a thing for many years unfortunately. Less and less people are using pubs.

The government taxes the fuck out of them so it gets to the stage where it's 10 times more expensive to drink in a pub than it is to drink at home.

Smoking bans again and other restrictions mean people prefer the freedom of at home drinking.

Used to be when I was younger there were 3-4 pubs on every housing estate, you were never more than 5 minutes walk from one... this is definately not the case any longer. All the estate pubs are nearly gone, the only pubs that keep going are the ones in town/city centres and the ones on main roads which end up catering to a much larger area than they would in the past.

As much as I hate it...I am part of the problem. Back when I was younger I'd be in the pub 4-5 times a week, now it's like twice a month. Those supermarket prices are too enticing.

Tonight I bought 20 beers and a liter of Beam for about £35...If i went to a pub with £35 I could get maybe 8-9 beers.....and I live in one of the cheapest areas in the country....In London that would do you 5 beers but the supermarket price would be the same as they are all national prices.

It's shit but the only way out is for the government to acknowledge that it's a super important part of our culture and heritage and if they want to preserve it they need to cut the pubs some slack so they can compete.
