When was the last time you bought a keg?

    I like those minikegs you can buy at liquor stores - Heineken has them, I've seen a few others as well, great for parties, no hassle with a deposit.
    But thanks for the memories of sitting around with friends in college doing the "101 Club" to kill off a keg of week-old crap beer. We got some good "sequential" projectile vomit pics out of it though, and I learned how difficult it is to start drinking again, twice, to catch up after hurling.

    25 people can't kill a keg? That's like seven beers a person.
    Last time I bought a keg was for my buddy's bachelor party last year. Eight of us nearly killed it. The next day was not so good.

    For my 22nd birthday. A bunch of us chipped in for a half and we finished it and proceeded to the bar. It was quite the spectacle getting into my on-campus apartment with sleeping bags and a huge bin.

    One 15-gallon keg = the volume equivalent of 160 12-ounce beers, or 6 2/3 cases. Compare prices, calculate likely consumption and do the math. And per the subject, I have never bought a keg in the 21st century.

    I bet 25 SJers could float a keg.

    I can float that keg with 10 SJers.

    If you're going to host any type of event in which more than 6 cases of beer (or equivalent) are required, it's usually more cost effective to get a keg.

    Damn it, that photo just made it dusty in this room. No keg should be mistreated that way.

    When I lived in my previous state, my roommates (at the time) and I decided to hold a Heineken minikeg-hands contest. Same rules as "Edward 40 Hands," but much different results.
