I would just like to go on the record to clarify that 'beers' is not an acceptable term. At least with the company I keep, as a Canadian, drinking Canadian beer. We long ago determined that 'beers' was slang that orginiated with the strange folk from Saskatchewan and Manitoba that drink Pilsner.
The working theory is that perhaps, if you are hovering near that 'white trash' line and you are drinking large-ish quantities (>9 each) of lower quality beer, 'beers' is the right term for you.
No offense, of course, 'beers' is one of my pet peeves.
