For example

Mikes Hard Lemonade are hell-bent on marketing that to men.

Do yall know any men that drink this?

The mike's harder is easy to chug and is around 1.50 for a 24 ounce. It's 8% abv so it's a good one before going out

men who get worried that other men will judge them for what they are drinking are the real bitches.

Knew a guy that was inter ciders for a month or so. I generally fall under the let people drink and eat what they like category, but if any of my buddies started drinking mikes hard lemonade regularly it would be hard not to ridicule them for doing so

The characters in the commercials are adults but the target market is kids who think they're adults.

Honestly, never thought about it. A Limerita in a can isn't much different than a marg rocks. I mean, guys drink Margs at restaurants. On the go is just convenience. Shittier taste but same, at least to me.

You don’t enjoy them because you’re an unwashed philistine.

I've only met one guy who drank Mike's Hard regularly. He was a jacked former Special Forces officer, and I still gave him relentless shite for it. He hated the taste of beer. Had to be to biggest outlier for green berets ever. He also had zero tattoos.

There is a large market that doesn't drink because liquor and beer tastes bad to them.

Hard cider is the shite. If it was good enough for the founding fathers it’s good enough for me.


Like buckles on everything and 16 year old brides.

"Craft" ciders are fantastic. Lots of different styles.

Angry Orchard, Redd's, etc. are just loaded with sugar and super sweet, so I don't like them.

I've never understood the need to ridicule someone because they drink something sweet though.

Like a 5% Bud Light is somehow more manly than an 8% Mike's?

Or a chocolate martini that will knock you out is less manly than a shot of whiskey?

Sounds stupid to me.

I prefer a refreshing Zima while getting deep dicked by a friend from Grindr.

There is a big difference between Mike's Hard Lemonade and a good cider.

It's tough to beat hard cider in the fall.

Limeritas are disgusting. Definitely different from getting a nice margarita at a restaurant. Do they even use tequila in limeritas? Get you a beer instead.
