My SIL lives in Oceanside California, very close to a Marine Corps playground.. She even married one.. Well, one year we were visiting, and I needed a reload of the hotel room fridge. I made the mistake of going to one of the closest liqour stores to the post. I go in and they had about a mile of Budweiser Lite in a cooler. Then another mile of Coors Light next to it... And then way down in the bottom corner they had a couple of sixpacks of Heinekin and Coronas with spider webs all over them..

I did the right thing and traveled up the road a few miles to find a bit better selection..


I know what your saying...many of them were young and on their first trip outside the US..Over here, they'd hit the NAFFI and go for the premium extra strong bottled lagers and would be wasted after about 4 bottles!
