So it's been asked in similar fashions before, but:

Would you drink Paps Blue Ribbon to gain admission to your first choice med school?

Not me; even I have my standards...

Your nuts, it would be more of a sacrifice to abstain from drinking PBR to gain admittance! I shudder at the thought! I can hear the chants : abstain to gain! abstain to gain! 😱

Opps, yes, I meant Pabst Blue Ribbon. Must have been a sort of Freudian Slip, reflecting my thoughts on the taste of PBR.
 
The question would be better if it were PBS (Phosphate buffered saline)...
 
again i will say that i would almost anything to get in to UMich
 
I would snort puddles of PBR every day for that acceptance
 
I'll drink whatever I have to if it'll give me the four years I've just spent in hell back. =]
 
Dude, PBR is the ****. I don't know what you're talking about. In fact, I pay to drink it on a regular basis.

We've gone from eating a poop hot dog to drinking PBR? Come on now...PBR is not THAT bad!
 
I thought you guys were talking about Professional Bull Riding. Things look different here in the South I guess. lol

Would you guys drink ipecac for first choice? I mean drink it daily until classes start.

No. That can cause all kinds of serious problems ... i'm not about dying for med school. Poop dogs ok, but not destroying my heart and causing all kinds of other probs due to chronic use. I'll vomit enough just from the poop dog.
 
Would I drink PBR? Heck I plan on having 15-20 when I get accepted to my top choice!

See, I assumed this was sort of an ironic, hipster thread (the scene's preferred crappy beer, right?) like in the spirit of "will you eat some belgian chocolate to gain acceptance to your first choice?" But now I'm not sure. Is it?

Also, it's Pabst.

I'm not so sure a poop hot dog would be that much safer. Ipecac daily is a little too much. What about weekly or bi-weekly?

Why not. It will help make sure I got up all the poop dog. Man, is this what we have all been reduced too? This waiting around is brutal.
 
I believe the correct question is:

Would you NOT drink PBR to get an admittance to your first choice?
 
Yes. Didn't even have to think twice about that one, because, when I was in college I drank PBR because it was often all that was free. Lots of PBR, Golden Anniversary, Schlitz, and Natural Light -- the King of < $5/case beers.
 
What is PBR? Some kind of beer I'm guessing from the other posts. Is it highly toxic or have a high alcohol content? I've honestly never heard about it before.
 
MirrorTodd said:
Yes, I saw that earlier, but that doesn't tell me anything about the contents.

Its one step above natty light in class b/c it comes in bottles, but 2 steps below in taste.

Though, im a fan of natty. Through some quick statistical calculations one drunken night i discovered that natty light has the most alcohol per cent spent of any beer. As such its the drink of choice for beer games etc. PBR on the other hand has no redeeming characteristics, its not quite cheep enough to be worth the lackluster taste.
 
Pabst Blue Ribbon is excellent. It's light and refreshing and goes well with an AmeriCorps "living wage."

I approve of this drink, acceptance be damned.
 
Talking smack on PBR in Arkansas...them is fightin' words..
 
4. pabst blue ribbon 19 up, 7 down

Pabst Blue Ribbion is The Number one choice for punk rockers and Pirates. the beer is cheap but wonderful and has a special way of reminding you the next day as you pee out of youre butt. None the less this brew can only be described as gods piss.

what kind of beer do pirates drink?
P. B. ARRRRRRRRRR!
hahah pabst blue ribbon rules!

I know it's lame to reply to my own post, but I forgot two of the truly great cheap beers: The Beast (Milwaukee's Best) and Old Milk (Old Milwaukee.)

I almost forgot Natty Bo (National Bohemian) and Meister Beast (Meister Brau) too.

I guess I drank way too much cheap beer back in the day. Bring on the PBR!

....and now I'm really dating myself. Someone mentioned 40s. We used to drink 40s of CRAZY HORSE! That stuff was nasty $hit! Phat Boy Malt Liquor, too!
 
Cheap beer is a staple of my diet. PBR, Busch Light, Keystone: all horrible, but hey, they get the job done. Can't complain when you're paying basically nothing for them. So, the answer is, OF COURSE I WOULD!

no offense, but you need to get out more.

That doesn't make sense. How does me going out correspond to knowing about PBR? Is it commonly sold at bars and night clubs? Sorry but when I got out to drink, I'm not looking to drink piss, as PBR has been described. I drink good beers, i.e. Dos Equis, Corona, New Castle, Red Stripe, Guinness, and if I want to get drunk real fast, then I'll drink shots of Jose Cuervo or Jack Daniel's. Offense was still taken nonetheless.
 
I actually prefer PBR, not to be confused with PBR's "generic" brand "Jacob's Best", though i'm more inclined towards liquor.
