I dont socially drink. Weird for a college student but I don't like the club atmosphere. I like to hang out at home with my girl and puppies and kick back with some good stuff while having a movie or some music on.

any other non Americans or non aussies here that want to go on a rant that what they drink isn't good beer? yep, it's a stupid thing to do, but as a huge fan of beer I like to do it occasionally.

Same here, not a drinker either. Yeah I know it's weird for a college kid to not really like alcohol, but hey, that's just how it is.

I shouldn't drink due to my occupation and family history with addiction, but I do anyway. I haven't been properly drunk in a while.

I drink probably too much.

So lucky to have the best player in all of college football for another year!

That 4th quarter was crazy. There was that missed turnover on downs call (seriously WTF was that?), then the very next play, Clowney flattens that guy and gets the fumble, and the play after that TOUCHDOWN!

I'm an occasional homebrewer and a massive beer snob. I'll gladly drink anything you hand me but I refuse to buy anything from the big 3 of Anheuser-Busch, Coors, and Miller as they are not independently owned, American breweries but owned by massive foreign beer conglomerates. Even beers preferred by hipsters for their independence like PBR aren't safe. For a full list of what beers are owned by whom, click here: http://www.drinkamerican.us/faq/59-who-owns-what-beers.html

I'd rather support foreign corporations anyway

I used to be a bit of a beer snob, but you will probably find it funny that Miller Draft has always been my favourite beer.

Its a premium beer over here.

and some of the better tweets (sorry for the long post)

I like the way Clowney just plucked the football up off the ground like, hey, this might be that guy’s spleen.

Best part of that Clowney play was how far the RB’s helmet went flying. At least 5 yards. Helmet didn’t just fall off. It went AIRBORNE.

Connor Shaw on 4th and 3 could mean literally anything. He might turn into a flowerpot mid-play.

Important: Connor Shaw is considered the toughest guy in his family, over a guy named Jaybo who ran the triple option.

Same here, I never ever buy any commercial beers. I could imagine that it's way easier to find quality beer in Europe though.

Almost assuredly. Fortunately, the microbrew industry in the States has been growing like a weed so it isn't too hard to find good brew if you know where to look. Most decent grocery stores will have some New Belgium, Shiner Bock, and maybe a local brewery or two. If you're out in the sticks at a convenient store like I am often though, you're pretty much stuck with Yuengling or Sam Adams.

I'm excited because my city just got a new brewery, and it's not part of a chain or anything. they clearly invested a lot of money into it as well, it looks really good.

Hey guys, I guess this is considered off topic, and any help is great.

I attended the Cavs-Cats game tonight and won some tickets off of some scratch-off thing. Turns out I won tickets to the "Front Court club" (not really front court), it's section L02 Row B.

Lower level? Good deal for free! Only I don't know what exactly the Front Court club entails. I know you access it through an elevator, there's a restaurant you can exclusively eat at, and some lounges you can visit. Is that all? Just making sure I'm not missing out on some parking, or something.

Has anyone ever sat there before? Any advice welcomed!

Give me some music to listen to.

Looking at adding to my ipod.
