Good for a couple of hours anyway.

I was in Cincinnati during my university days, in the early '70s. Cincinnati got plenty hot and humid in the summer time. The air was none to clean either. The best way to beat the heat was 25 cents, or it might have been 30 cents, my memory is fuzzy, for a quart of Hudepohl, Wiedemann's, or Schoenling's "Big King"...ah for the days I could drink as much of that as I could afford and not get fat.
