Maybe I'm an outlier but the more high end beer/alcohol I buy, the more sub-premium beer I buy as well. That is buying more sub-premium means I've gotten richer. I'll have a nice mezcal with a shitty bud light or whatever afterwards. If I don't have a high end drink then that's when I'll have something middle of the road like a local affordable craft or something and since it's affordable I don't need to buy a sub-premium beer to finish off the night. Could it be people have just discovered better alcohol and are drinking that for the taste and then the budget stuff for the buzz? The masses may have discovered it's kind of an optimal strategy.

It's a strategy that's endured thru the millennia: John 2:10 > “A host always serves the best wine first,” he said. “Then, when everyone has had a lot to drink, he brings out the less expensive wine..."

  Good advice, but If I understood that passage they all just got a bunch of free wine though

    it was all free to the guests. the passage was in response to how good the miracle wine was to have tasted. it was the end of the night when they were running out of wine, so the expectation would be that they had already long finished off the good stuff. but here they are bringing out the best wine at the end of the shindig.

when you see someone walking out of the store with a 30 pack of Keystone, you know they are not drinking for the taste.

  I'd drink keystone over like half the garbage craft beers or like a budweiser any day

  Ehn, it's just Coors Light in a separate can. And I can confirm that due to unscientific experiments of mine while in college. Same with Natty Light btw - that's just Bud Light.

I don't know about you, but I've always known "joe six-pack" to be pretty price conscious. Then again, as others in this thread have pointed out; the market is rather saturated with gross $12 4-packs. I've been suckered by a few.
