Back when I was in the USCG, and drank alot, it was Old Millwaukee, Red, White and Blue, Pabst and whatever was cheapest on tap.
Now that I'm much older, and, do not drink much at all, I go for quality and taste, prefering IPAs and ESBs. I've become a beer snob, coffee snob, and by virtue of marriage, a red wine snob.
