Top 3 cheap beers to try during college

College should be full of bad decisions, and bad decisions should be full of cheap alcohol.
To set the record straight, I am not condoning binge drinking, driving under the influence, starting bar fights or any type of public indecency. But if you’re going to get stupid drunk, save money and do it the classy way.

MD 20/20: Whether you know it as Morgan David or Mad Dog, this individual “bottle” of “wine” will knock down even the most veteran drinkers. Mad Dog combines the taste and after effects of communion wine and morphine: you get knocked down, numbed up and put in a stupid happy mood for any neighborhood priest.

King Cobra: A very gentle and rewarding creature despite its primal animal name, King Cobra is by far the King of the 40 kingdom. Like most 40s, the king doesn’t have a typical beer taste, but it does go down smooth and even has an intimidating picture of its namesake. King Cobra gives you a nice mellow drunk, without a hangover or projectile vomiting.

Sparks: Part energy drink, part malt liquor, 100 percent hilarious experience. Not a drink you want to take to a party, but for hanging around your own dwelling, it makes for a delicious adventure. One minute you’re awake, the next you’re stumbling, and then the whole process repeats for about an hour. This is the drink for you if you like energy drinks, booze and the effects of both.

If you’re looking for a fun time on a cheap budget, and you have the resources to manage the effects listed above, I recommend trying all three of these during your college experience. Save money, be safe and be merry.
