You've got worse than Foster's
Fosters is bad enough, but Broken Hill was one of the worst beers I've encountered.

Worst beer
PrinzBrau, Billy Beer, and any canned beer gaily festooned with wildlife.

None are worse than Schlitz and/or Hamm's.

The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.
- Mark Twain, "Monarchical and Republican Patriotism"

Depends on where you are
Schlitz is drinkable in Florida and The west coast Hamms is tolerable. Other regions breweries have bad water or something.

You must never have had Piels beer.
But the Bob & Ray Piels commercials were great.

Pearl or Lone Star?
They were pretty bad.
Speaking of bad, our local Tom Thumb grocer (subsidiary of Safeway), is now stocking Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill.
Boone's Farm is about as low as you for "pseudo-Wine cooler".
We used to get the girls that wouldn't drink beer drunk on Boone's farm. It was sweet, they liked the taste, and it didn't taste like it had alcohol in it.

I liked Pearl and Lonestar as well as Falstaff
although running a Jackhammer in Corpus Christi in the summertime made one not really care about taste.

Deja Vu!
Before I got to your comment, I added both A-1 and Pearl to the list refuting Box's statement.
Too bad you came to know how bad they are! ;-)

Nope... you ALLL wrong:
White Label is repackaged (and blended with Spring Water) "speciality" Black Label is by far the worst. Not much taste or Alch in it... BUT if you drink enough of it between the drainings[1] you WILL indeed wake up with a Horrific Hangover.
[1] Trust me there will be MANY, of the Main Vein.

Nonono...
White label is a (Horribly)remixed(and Thinned) Black Label and marketed to HIGH Volume CHEAP Consolidated Liquor Stores on The USMC's bases, at least in the US.
Ask, Drook he knows the Beer I speak of...
Black Label is fine, it just so happens that White- Label is also made by them. CHEAP... and *I* mean Cheap... I think $1.75 a six-pack. Not really even enough to get a good buzz going, besides

as in white generic cans?
Used to buy that in Alaska, back in the single days and 20 something no matter how much cash you had on friday night you were reduced to assembling coins on sunday for some cheap beer to while away the afternoon. Your are right, no real buzz, forceful kidney flushes and vicious headache. A beer from the northwest Buckhorn had similar properties.

Nahh, when we wanted cheap it was ...
Mickey's, in the wide-mouth green barrel-shaped bottle. Or The Beast. Or one time I got a 12-pack of Beer. That was the name of it: Beer. Plain brown box with one word in 3-inch high black sans-serif. I got it on my way to a party just so I could put it in the fridge and wait for someone to ask, "I'm going to the fridge, anyone need anything?" Yeah, get me a Beer. "What kind?" A Beer. "Very funny, which one's yours?" Do this: go to the fridge, look in, and get me a Beer. He came back a minute later just shaking his head.

"Mable, Black Label!" said the TV ad.
And the joke in the late 50's was "Get of the table Mable, the quarter's for the beer!".

Sorry to disagree but:
You haven't tasted the Tejano swill called A-1 or Pearl.
Reputed to taste like the inside of a Tejano bar's urinal....
