We have all done things that we aren't exactly proud. I do have to say that I'm not a fan of BMC, however sometimes you just have to drink one. I know it's easy to jump up and say, I will never drink that swill, however some social situations it would be impolite to not accept the drink. Usually these are family events or functions and the beer decision is definitely on quantity not quality. I don't want a start the socioeconomic discussion, but if you (not the homebrew you) are supplying beer for a 100+ for the evening, it kind of makes sense. Plus you don't get sad when you find 70 1/2 drank cups of your precious brew at the end of the night.
Some cultures what even be offended if you don't drink with them. Some exceptions if you were an alcoholic or whatever, but that's not you because you wouldn't be here if you were.
Some of my wife's cousins love to hand out Bud Lights. I can't stand the things myself but when we go to weddings and other family functions they are all too proud to hand them to me. One of my tricks that I have learned is that I will finish my first can rather quickly and then carry around the empty can for the remainder of the evening pretending like I just got another beer. Usually gets me out of the event without offending too many people.
What awful things have you done to avoid BMC?
