I'll pass. It may be good, but "athletic" and "run wild" make me think taste and smell of sweaty gym shoes, socks and jockstraps. Ugh! Too many other good choices. 😖😋😕👅

When I was down here looking for a home I sat outside at Red Sauce and was surprised how low prices were for beer. There was a lady sitting next to me that worked in some capacity for the developer. She said the developer had the mindset of "keep them drunk and they will remain happy"

Except "The Developer" does not own nor run Red Sauce...

I think they expect alcohol drinkers to drink 3 or 4 beers, and to stay beyond the happy hour.

But if I have to drink 80 NA beers to get as happy as one regular beer, shouldn't they expect NA drinkers to drink more?

No kidding, I think we were talking about the cheap drinks and extended happy hours that were prevalent when the developer essentially owned and ran most of the restaurants and country clubs before they started leasing them out. Back when I was talking to this lady, even though the developer had started leasing the facilities out instead of renting them, you could find beer for under 2 bucks (and in some places 1 dollar beers) pretty much all day and all night if you traveled around.

You might ask "why is an iced tea the same price as a soda?" Things that make you say "hmmm."
