Yea, that happened.

Yep it was bought a lot in kegs for parties as it was cheap but better than Milwaukee's Best, Old Milwaukee, Papst, red white and blue.

Remember Meister Brau and Balentine:D

Good god beer was bad back then. I remember guys driving down to California just to pick up a few cases of Coors because so many people thought it was better and it wasn't available in Oregon. It was only like an hour and a half drive but still. Beer is MUCH better in this country now.

How about Old English 800. Good god that stuff was horrible.

Bud was most of the keggers I went to. For some reason I was on a Heinken kick forever light and dark with an occasional Moosehead.

They don't say they are playing....they say they are "up to no good" and when we ask what exactly they are doing that is suspicious they do not have a great answer. They also tell us "they don't belong around here" because people think their neighborhood is just for them. Or "there have been break ins in the area" connecting these random kids doing nothing wrong to crimes that may or may not even happened.

This trend has become literally famous with everyone talking about Karens getting in the business of people doing nothing wrong.

I have been doing this for a decade but I don't know what I am talking about. LMAO

The same people who bitch about kids always being inside and playing video games are the same people who call the police when kids are outside.

LMAO Never tried it but when we were 16 my buddies had a sister who was 21 and would buy us a couple of sixs of Miller Malt Liquor. That was enough to light us up quickly. ROFL

Think of Boulevard's most basic beers... Pale Ale is significantly better than any light lager bullshit out there, and it's only been around since 1989 or so..... and it's not even THAT good.

When I left the house I was pretty much left to my own devices. My buddies and I got into a ton of shenanigans that our parents probably wouldn't have approved of, but as long as we didn't get brought home in a cop car we felt like we were in the clear. I think my generation was the last generation where all the neighborhood kids could be found on bikes, or in the streets playing football.

The source of the change is different in my head though. Cell phones changed everything. When you left your house, you were free. No one expected to get a hold of you. If you and your buddies got yourselves into trouble, guess what? Figure it out, because no one was coming to save you. Everyone had a higher level of independence then they do now.

Born in 1983 here and I think we came along at an interesting time straddling both analog and digital during very formative years. I think we got the charm of physical media even as we were on the front lines of transitioning to digital media and social media and instant communication.

The Oregan Trail generation or sometimes referred to as Generation Catalano.

I would say we have more in common with our older peers than our younger ones though.

Listened to cassette tapes (and maybe even 8 track) and probably even had cassettes in your first car... then CDs, then mp3s.

Had options of 80s/90s sitcoms, but again, wasn't the one thing that dominated your life like all of the streaming and social media options today.

Dial-up internet in the early-mid 90s. I was calling my parents to pick me up from work from a pay phone in ~1995.

It seems so ancient when typing it out... LMAO
