I avoid beer now because I'm trying to get back into shape, but I prefer good beers and can't stand piss (the Lite shit).
If you continue drinking beer, I highly encourage you to brew your own. It isn't all that hard if you are fastidious about sanitizing everything and are able to follow directions, and I believe it can be cost-effective after a few batches (especially if you keep glass bottles, instead of being them). I got even luckier and saw a Groupon deal with a homebrewing store, with whom I was able to buy a starter kit and an Irish stout beer kit.
Now I want to try making wine or hard cider, but I've been lazy.
