#12Well, I mean I've never been wealthy but I've run the range from upper middle class to dead broke and if I can extrapolate the data I would say that a predilection for free beer is probably universal regardless of income or social status. It's the common thread that binds the bourgeoisie and the proletariat.
It just tastes better.
Nothing tastes better than a beer I earned with my own labour.

#19Free alcohol changes the social dynamic of an occasion. There's less awkwardness about offering to get someone a drink or vice versa. Less concerns about expectations of reciprocity.
