I love this post post, but have one quibble. There is no amount of PBR that can be considered "too much" let alone "way too much". Every fluid ounce is a gift. Refreshing. Affordable. It says "you don't have to be a small-batch, microbrew-loving beer snob to taste a sip of heaven". :)

On a recent camping trip with my brother and nephew, I forgot beer and so stopped along the way at a store with limited selection and walked out with some 16-oz PBRs. I found them fine, as did my nephew; only my brother groused a little. A fine American lager, with less alcohol than the IPAs.

You're so right. But I will point out that although PBR may say you're not a small-batch, microbrew-loving beer snob, it also says you're an annoying MFA student who thinks it's cool to semi-ironically drink cheap beer.

That's fair. I'll concede that to you.

I have notebooks from HIGH SCHOOL when I used to write "vignettes" (and my Freshman English teacher, bless her, would meet with me to give me feedback on them) and when I surely angsted about all things high school. I haven't tossed them. But I have most certainly NOT read them. (Maybe my thing, Jane, is to use all caps, Jane.)

You should read them, Henriette. READ THEM! (Seriously, Henriette.)
