What do you pay your beer fines with?

[k-dubjumps 0]

I heard of someone who didn't drink paying off their beer fines with root beer floats at their DZ and this weekend I'm paying with jello shots. Sometimes I bring beer, but I'm not a beer drinker myself. If you bring beer, what kind? the good stuff, the cheap stuff, or what ever is on sale?

It never hurts to offer.

When we bring beer it is a 30 pack of Natural Lite... cheap stuff. I also pick up a 12 pack of Landshark for me and others who might want something other than the "Natty Lite".

Hi K-W,
Yer post got me ta' thinkin' Skydivers will drink just about anything ya' put in front of em'!! An old High School friend's dad told us of 2 of his neighbors that made "Home Brew Beer" back during the Depression. They got to arguin' as to who had the "Best!" So, they took samples of each, marked one "A" and the other "B" and sent them off somewhere to be tested. 'Got the letter from the testing place back and it read,"Gentlemen,..We are sorry to inform you but both of these horses have Diabetes."

Heinikin

Is that cheaper than Heineken?

A lot of our DZ likes Busch Lite, so a 30 pack of that will suffice. I'd rather pick up a case of Henry's at Costco. Much better beer, IMHO.

[AggieDave 6]

Jack Daniels.

Or Shiner Bock.

At Orange, all beer fines are paid in GOOD, BOTTLED beer.

Humiliation awaits those who feel they can pay their beer fines in cheap canned beer.

Yeungling, Corona, Heineken.

Sometimes I just bring some Red Stripe because it is my favorite.

Always be kinder than you feel.

Of course Heinikin is less expensive than Heineken. Knockoff' are less expensive because their cutting corners somewhere. This time the printer screwed up the labels.

But the bottles are still green, the brews cold, tastes like heine and haven't had any complaints yet.

"Back in the day" We uesd to drink Thunderbird wine chilled of course It was the wine of choice by all the wineo's in the hood and a pt of T-bird cost about the same as a bottle of Heine does today.

Thats where we get our Heini knockoffs.

FWIW T bird wine is probably still available at the less exclusive liquor stores if anyone wants a cheap drunk not sure if they will want to jump the next day

Ugh, neither can I. My "usual" has been Sam Adams, but I've been digging Rogue Dead Guy lately. I think it's damn good.

I do feel, however, that, on principle, non-alcohol drinkers shouldn't have to pay in beer, or pay into a "beer fund" (which is what some DZs have). Substitute other food and/or drink of similar value. I have an alcoholic friend who gave his rigger a gift certificate to a fancy restaurant after his last chop.

(Same goes for the "bottle of booze" for the rigger who packed the reserve that saved your ass. If you don't drink alcohol, a reasonable substitute is perfectly acceptable.) Oh, FWIW, when I had my first reserve ride a long time ago (I was recently A-licensed), I gave out TWO bottles: one to the rigger, and eventually another one to my FJC instructor (at a different DZ) whose voice-in-my head I followed to save my miserable ass.

Give that man a standing ovation, A decent stout,
or for all you pussy pilsner drinkers, at least make it a double malt pilsner.


Oh and a piece of advice, Don't take your best home made 90% hooch cos you'll
always get some smartass ( thanks Tony) who calles it drain cleaner.

So far, I have paid my beer fines with soda and bottled water, for the reasons set forth in the following thread (I don't drink):

In the future, I will probably also use cases of Gatorade or ice cream pops.
