http://www.cnbc.com/id/100966179Many people who end their Friday or Saturday nights in a hospital emergency room have been drinking alcohol. In fact, public health experts estimate that about one-third of all injury-related ER visits involved alcohol consumption....
When the Hopkins researchers surveyed ER patients who'd been drinking, they found that Budweiser was the No. 1 brand consumed, followed by Steel Reserve Malt Liquor, Colt 45 malt liquor, Bud Ice (another malt liquor), Bud Light and a discount-priced vodka called Barton's.
Though Budweiser has 9.1 percent of the national beer market, it represented 15 percent of the of the ER "market."
The disparity was even more pronounced for Steel Reserve. It has only .8 percent of the market nationally, but accounted for 14.7 percent of the ER market. In all, Steel Reserve, Colt 45, Bud Ice, and another malt liquor, King Cobra, account for only 2.4 percent of the U.S. beer market but accounted for 46 percent of the beer consumed by ER patients.

There's something seriously wrong with that data (or the data gathering).

I remember reading that it's really good. Some day I'm going to Europe and I hope it's long enough to try beer everywhere.

(2,560 posts)6. I believe they do - and why would they stop? It's Angels' Nectar.
I live in Holland and it's not widely available here i.e. I've never seen it. When I go to Germany, I check out the bottle shops. I've also had it in England.
Here's the wiki page with a link to the official website...

It definitely appeals to their tastes (or lack thereof).
