I remember watching the X-files sometimes in the noughties and Mulder came up with a deduction; "it must've been two men...nobody drinks two six-packs alone" and I just cracked up.
12-pack was like a medium for the night, 24 a heavier. Plus bars usually. (Finn here.)
Also, alcoholics are real. My dad used to go through a 24 a day just to maintain. The liquor on top of that was to actually feel intoxicated.
Yeah tbh, most people didn't finish their beers, so only drank like 80% of a can they were everywhere, and usually people bum one or two.
And unless we were at some festival, people wouldn't have time to destroy 24 + bar drinks.
But cruise ships? Three days of innumerable drinks of all sorts.
I kinda miss that though. The adventure and friends, not drinking that much.
12 pack, sure... but 2 six-packs is different, ain't it?
Perhaps the store was out of 12-packs.
Also at that time, in like early 90's (in the tv show), I don't think 12-pack was that common
No. We've had 6 packs, 12 packs, and cases since at least the 70s.
Source: I bought pretty much every packaging that Old Style was sold in during late 70s and early 80s.
Non-existent=/=common
12 packs were pretty much the default packaging.
