Hard for me to argue with that! There are a number of frat house beers I'd rather drink than Heineken... Why many airlines default to serving it I'll never understand.
I only drank 4 Loco once. I was on spring break and it was like 3-4 am. I woke up an hour or two later with my heart racing far faster than it should have been and couldn't go back to sleep.

I like Heineken a lot. Nice light crisp refreshing easy drinking. Then again, my regular beer of choice is Budweiser. I consider myself lucky that my favorites are inexpensive, considering the quantity I consume.

How can anybody call Budweiser a beer ! I would prefer to drink water - its just about as potent

Depends what you mean by worst... I've liked them all. However, I did once get to drinking a little concoction called a c--- sucking cowby, consisting of Baileys layered on buterscotch shnapz, at a party. After a few, I still felt perfectly sober and chatty. Then I attempted to stand.....

The worst beer I've ever tasted was from Dogfish Head, of all places. It proves even the best get it wrong sometimes.
It was called Raison D'Etre and it was made with raisins. Really. And you could taste raisin in every sip.
I'm embarrassed to admit I bought it a second time by mistake. I figured I'd try it again in case I just had a bad bottle. Nope, still gawdawful.

Back in the UK in the early 90s what you could drink in a brewery owned pub was much more restricted than it is now. This was especially noticeable with wine. Whereas one may go into a typical pub and find maybe 20 or 30 wines available with maybe half a dozen of them by the glass, back then it was not the case. You might get 3 - sweet white, dry white, red. Our local brewery was the worst offender. We would often take part in the pub quiz and the prize was 6 bottles of wine. The White was called "chandoray" and the red I can't remember, but again it was a misleading name to disguise the fact what the wine actually was. No two bottles would ever taste the same it was obvious that the brewery was just buying any old cheap crap they could get their hands on and rebottling it. We are not wine snobs but these wines were truly disgusting no matter what you mixed them with to hide the horrible taste . We were quite successful at the pub quiz and we're winning quite a bit of this dreadful stuff, most of which ended up being poured away.
Other memorable bad drinks....Fernet Branca, neat Campari and a Sorghum Wine a friend brought back from China.

I've heard people who try it for the first time describe the taste as a cross between alcohol and gasoline-not exactly the most ringing endorsement
