Natural Ice: Preferred brew of river inebriates

By far, this is the brand I most often see here on the Mississippi above St. Anthony Falls.

I suspect the combination of low price ($11.99 for 24 pack at the local outlets) and relatively high alcohol content l(5.9 percent) leads Natural Ice consumers to forget to clean up after their shoreline picnics.
