As for Corona beer (that the article was comparing Guiness too), yuck. Comparing Guiness to Corona is like comparing a thick T-bone steak to a fast-food hamburger. (Only the fast-food burger probably tastes a lot better than the Corona.)

It is the beverage of choice for all of the young hoodlums that hang around in the parking lot at night in the apartment complex where I live, when it's warm out. Dozens of broken Corona bottles all over the lot on Sunday mornings.

Good Lord, I wish I could find a granny-unit to rent in Northern Virginia. I'd break the lease here in a minute.

I notice that Corona is the beer of choice for those who are unsophisticated about beer. I must say that it's marketed very well and cheaply priced so hence the appeal with the younger crowd who just don't know better.

I laugh when people go to Mexican restaurants and order a Corona like they think they are being authentic. Most people from Mexico wouldn't touch the stuff. If you want to order a Mexican beer without looking like a dweeb, order a Dos Equis or a Negra Modelo.

When I was younger, the hoodlum crowd drank malt liquor like Colt 45. Now that stuff is nasty and will give you a throbbing headache the next morning.
