This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

The cheapest, smallest beer you can get is $12, then.
Which would be sort of reasonable if it was a pitcher/jug. But we know it isn't.
Even at a regular restaurant or bar, a beer is gonna be like $6 or $8.
Maybe 30 years ago you could get a pitcher for $12 if it was happy hour or something.
Yeah I don't think those prices are reasonable either.
But... I don't drink anymore, so what do I know.
In Switzerland (admittedly one of the most expensive places on earth), 15$ ish for a jug is quite normal.
Usually the cheapest is a big can of bud light or similar, I think they are 24oz
Draft and craft beers are usually $2-$6 more than the bud light for 16-20oz, so $12 would actually get you the biggest at most stadiums
