Is anyone in here guilty of drinking White Claws?

It has become a phenomenon and my friends and I joke about it being "white girl crack" lol.

Just wondering if you are drinking them?

The Local Police department actually put out a statement about the term "ain't no laws when you're drinking white claws"

And if this whole thing wasn't big enough, some dude went and made a country song about it.

    Never heard of it, until recently.
    Was told it was 'the new Zima' - which was enough to tell me I did not need to try it.  :lol:

    They aren't bad, won't lie.  It's seltzer spiked.  Not very filling so it is good for a hot summer day but I still prefer beer.

    Never tried one, but I have seen them grow in popularity.  My wife likes them.  Just not my thing.

    So disgusting that it took a chunk out of the craft beer market.

    Seems to be huge.

    Just curious as to why you didn't like it?  It's seltzer w flavoring.  Nothing crazy.

    Just not a seltzer fan in general.  Booze or no booze in it.

    Never had it
    Hard for stores to keep in stock
    Some big city distributors were completely out of stock last week.
    White Claw and Truly have 80% of the hard seltzer market

    How about the chunk it took from craft beer sales?

    I have noticed others following suit too.  Johnny come latelys!

    That is quite a shift for a craft beer drinker to convert to a White Claw drinker.  Douple IPAs and seltzer vodka could not be more different from one another.  I guess if it all boils down to calorie count, it makes sense, but there's nothing about the flavor profile that does.

    Remember late at night when your TV used to do this?  This is what drinking White Claw, Truly, etc tastes like.

    It is definitely taking some $ from craft beer sales but also wine and spirits as well.

    Both bitter and disgusting, so it makes sense to me!

    Just drink everclear.  Pretty much the lowest calorie way to get fucked up.
    190 proof.
    Overly concerned about looking like Kate Moss?
    Drink some Everclear.
    Also....Kate Moss could probably have dodged the heroin as well...and just drank Everclear.

    Tomatoes are delicious!
    Double IPA's are like truck nuts...the world doesn't need them and nobody actually enjoys them!

    I'm actually noticing more and more IPA's that I enjoy in recent months.  I'm hoping they've finally come back down to earth instead of the "who-can-handle-the-most-bitter-tasting-earwax" competition they had going for the last decade.  Definitely don't need a damn double IPA though!

    Disgusting shit if you ask me. A few coworkers admitted to me they liked it. There are very few alcoholic beverage I find so gross I can't finish, this being one of them, and I hate waste.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I enjoy a nice double IPA. Hazy?  Even better!

    Delicious.

    I mixed in a few Truly's over the summer.  Especially on hot summer days when you're beer/IPA'd out.  It's a good change of pace.  I liked the Naturdays a bit more (Natty Lite version of spiked seltzer).....cheaper, lol
  • JK_LivinJK_Livin South Jersey Posts: 7,365
    I've tried the 2 Natty Seltzers. I liked one. I won't be trying any more. Not my thing I guess.

    So would this rank up there with Zima?
    Cheerleader beer as in Smirnoff ice?

    You tell me.

    Me and a group of friends do a 28 mile kayak trip every year.  Usually we drink all sorts of beer the entire way.  Someone was feeding me Trulys.  

    For doing an activity on a hot day, i gotta say they went down smoothly and were refreshing.
