The Hell... The Hell The Hell The Hell...

"Anheuser-Busch says the game's instructions called for water to be consumed during play, not beer, which is the company's main product."

Ok... I know I'm not the worlds smartest person... but... The Hell!

In this modern age of corporate lunacy, I can't say this surprises me. If IBM can ship a 17-page legal disclaimer and arbitration document with *backpacks* (they can, and they do), I have a fairly easy time imagining a beer company expressing shock and dismay that beer is used in beer pong.

What hurts *my* brain is the idea of "beer cocktails". Especially anything involving tomato juice. It's *beer*, for crying out loud - yes, it's watery low-quality domestic beer, but... it's *beer*. You might mix *beer* with *beer* (such as a Black & Tan - very tasty), but I can't imagine rightly any situation that would call for *beer* to be mixed with *tomato juice*.

If you *really* need to get buzzed that early in the morning, they're called Bloody Marys and mimosas. :-P

Thank you!  I was mildly amused by the article but sickened by the disgusting things they wanted to do to beer.  Not that that beer doesn't deserve it, but the customers certainly don't, even if they do choose to drink swill.

The funny part is that if they've been using Bud, they HAVE been using water; water that's been filtered through someone's bladder, but water none the less ;)

""Stands in front of Barb as the beer is fired from the Water Gunz.""
OK, thats appropriate, American beer water.
I don't think there a true Godot that would disagree.

Sam Adams and Yuengling (I prefer lager, but their Black & Tan is also very nice) scotch this argument. ;-)

Mmmm. Scotch with a Black & Tan chaser... ::Homer-noise::

Sam Adams has a little too much bark for my tastes, but I cannot agree with you more on the Yuengling.
