Hot Take Fridays: White Claws are the Revolution of our Generation

There was the American Revolution in the late 1700s.... the Industrial Revolution in the early 1800s... the technological revolution of the 1990s... and we are now in a new revolution, the White Claw Revolution. What started out as a female fad about a year ago has now spread to the male species who are starting to abandon their beloved beer for White Claws. This may sound ridiculous to some of you, but it is happening.

I will admit that when White Claws first came out, I was a bit skeptical and did not truly buy the idea of them; and that is saying a lot as I am all about "girly" drinks. How could a drink that is 100 calories, 2g of carbs, and low sugar, taste good? That just doesn't make sense? But boy, was I wrong. 

White Claws are awesome; each one is only 100 calories with 2 G of carbs and has 5% alcohol. Not only are they one of the healthiest drinks out there, but they taste good too (say good bye to that Michelob Ultra you keep drinking). Who doesn't want to get drunk while not automatically getting a beer belly or consuming super sugary mixed drinks? That is why the White Claw Revolution is here!

All summer long, I have seen people drinking White Claws not just in Pittsburgh, but from all over the US. It started with our generation, and has spread to older generations as I have seen older people drinking White Claws at bars on Carson Street. Powerlifting teams and gym bros all over the country are dropping beer for White Claws to truly keep that "swole" look while still having a good time. Dont't get me wrong, I love beer and a nice mixed drink... but I love the Claw more. This is not just me saying nonsense either;White Claw sales are through the rough and the media has taken notice.

Our generation was tired of all the beer bellies and shame that comes when drinking a lot of alcohol, and we did something about it. If you are still holding on to your precious beer or mixed drink, it's time to give it up and join the flock, because we all know there's no laws when drinking claws!

I will leave you with this... Life is too short, have a claw, they have no flaws.
