Cheap beer is cheap. Around a dollar a pint. The homeless drink beer because it is the cheapest way to get alcohol. Even when we only consider the nutritious value, it is about 200 kcal/$, about as much as chicken. Not cheap but definitely not fancy. Socioeconomic factors have to be taken into account, but I don't think the rich drink more beer, they just get better quality, and maybe in a bar rather than from a supermarket.
