What is Steel Reserve?
1.
Steel Reserve is an intoxicationg liquid customarily found in 22 oz cans and in the value-packed 40 oz glass bottles. Now, normally I'd be compelled to use the word "beer", but that's not going to cut the mustard. This is a HIGH GRAVITY LAGER. That's what they say. After drinking this, you'll feel like someone increased the Earth's gravity field by 70%. Don't get me wrong, it's hands down the best bang for your drinking dollar... but you'll probably get arrested if you drink more than a forty ouncer. So be careful! I have hallucinated and time travelled under the influence of steel reserve.
After I drank a couple of forties of STEEL RESERVE I felt brave enough to fight a cop! And the cop felt brave enough to Taser me till I shit my pants.

Steel Reserve is a low-quality, low-prestige, low-dignity malt beverage. Purchasing Steel Reserve is often an act of desperation by would-be drinkers in times of economic hardship. Aside from drinking cleaning solvents, Steel Reserve is perhaps the cheapest possible way to exit this reality. Its combination of astonishingly low price and extraordinarily high alcohol content has made it popular among both bums and young people.
Once only available in the darkest corners of the hood, Steel Reserve can now be found in supermarkets, liquor stores, and lying sideways next to unconscious transients all across America. Although notably foul tasting, this is a drink that will take you where you want to go (quickly and cheaply). At $.99 a tallboy, I find it possible to get drunk on the amount of change found under the couch, without even having to look in my car’s ashtray.
The Steel Reserve logo is a stylized number 211, which aside from being an ancient symbol for steel, is also the penal code # for armed robbery. It’s likely that steel reserve has been the inspiration for many a convenience store jacking. Poor judgment and personal injury are notoriously correlated with the consumption of Steel Reserve. The drink’s harsh flavor effectively masks the high alcohol content, leaving the drinker confused as to how much he has actually consumed. Even experienced drinkers get into trouble when partying with the 2-1-1.

Also known as headache juice. Steel Reserve is a high gravity high alcohol content and cheaply made lager. Steel Reserve along with other malt liquors are the cheapest and easiest way to get drunk. The 211 has a horrible taste going down, and as most people who drink it will find, a horrible taste coming back up. However this taste does do an effective job of covering the alcohol. That together with its low carbonation allows for easy chugging. Steel Reserve is made and purchased for one thing and one thing only and thats to get drunk. One 24oz can will get you buzzed, two will get you drunk, and after three your in the bathroom hugging your new best friend, the toilet. If you drink it out of the glass don't expect to find a thick dark color like you would expect from a lager made with twice the ingredients of regular beer, instead you will find it has the distinct color and smell of pee.
However for someone on a budget looking to get drunk Steel Reserve is by far the best bang for the buck, just pray you don't have to go into work in the morning.
Guy 1: That Steel Reserve Stuff taste horrible.
Guy 2: Yeah but it gets me hammered for only $2.99!

Once only 'reserved' for bums, this dirt-cheap foul swine is now popular among the college crowd, too. Also known as 'blackout betty' or 'boo juice'. Make sure you don't have anything to do the next day because you will need it to recover. On the bright side, it's cheaper than bottled water. Don't drink too much becuase you will not remember anything (sometimes that can be a good thing, though).

Jim: "Yeah, dude, she looked like Shrek."
Bob: "Friggin' Steel Reserve."
