Does the brand or type of beer have any effect on the number of beers that
it takes to do this ?
I mean , would a Malt Liquer like Colt 45 only take maybe 1.5 six packs to
twist it off versus 2 full six packs with some regular beer like Budweiser ?
And what about non-alcoholic beer (what the hell is the point of that?) ? I
am guessing it would take about 300 cases to do the job with that .
