Am I defending their behavior? I avoid theaters precisely because they're such awful places to be.
24oz is a lot of beer. I just have no idea why theaters are even offering that much, except for the fact that a small sized anything at a theater is minimum 12oz and 10x the price you'd get it at a grocery store. Its just more of the scam inherent in the business model.
Why do you keep changing the subject to your opinion on alcohol consumption as if it were relevant to the conversation? If I pay for a set quantity of anything, and I get less than I paid for, I was cheated, your self-righteousness notwithstanding.
"Beer makes you piss" is hardly an opinion. Alcohol is a diuretic.
If you think you're getting cheated on volume, wait till you find out how badly they watered that beer down.
Is it self-righteous to outwit The Man simply watching movies at home, by pirating them, as God intended?
You can down a full quart of liquor for less than one of those 24oz natty lites, while you're at it.
It looks like you're trying to post your way past a bad take.
