Avoid Sweetwater Take Two Pils.

Get a 6er of St. Arnold Summer Pils. Good stuff.

So wait. You don't drink PBR because it's too mainstream? You drank PBR before it was mainstream?

Nice. Just nice.

Pilsner Urquel
Stella
Sam Adams Boston Lager

and like others have said, there are local choices that are usually worth trying.

Just go to the store and buy the cheapest fricking beer they have. Sounds like what you're shooting for. If you want premium quality with smooth drinkability and a fair value I would recommend Bud Light. It stings the wallet a little more than PBR but it won't spawn an overwhelming urge to grow an ironic mustache. Of course you can always bypass the beer and just mainline Taaka. Good luck

This is so freaking hipster, but I was looking through old pictures me of our old crew from college circa 1996. The beers we are all drinking in the pics? PBR and Old Style.

Those are still my cheap beer of Choice.

For what it is? Boston Lager is a world class brew.

Miller Lite is my go-to cheap beer on the reg, but I really like Yeungling. I always stock up on it when I'm in Mobile.

ETA: Abita Amber from the tap ain't bad, either.

Man, I haven't had one of those since 1997, might have to try one soon for old times sake.
Icehouse and Busch Light were the designated crawfish boil beers back in the day.

You may not be drunk, and drive well, but you´re definitely illegal BAC wise.

Uh, no. 3-4 light beers over a couple hours will not put an average grown man over .08 BAC.

I think you should branch out a little and try a different style. I highly recommend Mickeys fine malt liquor. The cap puzzle game is lagniappe.
