Miller Lite Home Draft Kit is Apparently Not Intended for Parties; Seriously, Guys, Don't Drink it All at Once

As if we all aren't drunk enough, Miller Lite has release the Home Draft Kit, a system that allows all the alcoholics out there (myself included) a chance to get a fresh from the tap taste at home but there's only one problem. The makers of the system claim it's for at-home "periodic use" and not for parties.

Who the hell is Miller Lite telling me how and when to drink its beer? This $20, one-and-a-half gallon box o' beer is perfect for one night of drown-my-sorrows binge drinking alone at home, or, alternatively, as the centerpiece of the inevitable "Everybody Bring a Box of Beer" throwdown.

Miller Lite says they're appealing to the 30% of people who like drinking draught beer instead of cans or bottles but it's too bad Miller Lite tastes like horse piss and nobody wants it out of the tap. Heineken already had this idea with the Draught Keg and now Newcastle has one as well. In college I found a Bud Light Beer Ball, a spherical plastic mini-keg carrying over 55 beers, which became in our house an instant beer pong tourney.

It's not a bad idea to sell more beer in less packaging, but why deter people from drinking it the way they obviously want to, a lot at a time. Nobody who buys this Home Draft Kit is going to drink one a night for over a week (won't the beer get stale?). The package itself looks like a football. Do they really think this thing isn't going to be front and center at fantasy football draft parties in a few weeks?
