Man, ten bucks for a beer feels pretty steep for 2001. Maybe Red’s Scottish Beer costs a butt and a leg to import.
Anyway, let’s enjoy the first of several gags involving the Walkertwins’ inability to hold their liquor.

wow, I don’t drink to know the prices, and that sounds steep
Especially for “bitter sour buttcheese.”
Imported or craft beer easily runs $5 or more per pint, and in a college bar they’ll charge whatever the market will bear.
Also if a Bar has additional draw such as live music then prices tend to go higher to help cover the cost of the band.
Ten bucks is a little steep now, so much more so 15 years ago.
Lol one sip and he gets blurry vision. And I thought my mom can’t hold her liquor well.
Well, at least he doesn’t turn into a catgirl with one sip.
I’m not exactly a lightweight (okay, sometimes a little) but I can be surprised by how quickly beer hits me when I haven’t eaten for a while. Going out for drinks before dinner is a fast way to get accidentally smashed.
Or a great way to conserve alcohol funds!
Too bad Mike’s not there. But then that would spoil his Shortpacked surprise.
Mike is there. He just doesn’t appear in today’s strip.
It’s not a Shortpacked! surprise since there’s an entire storyline here in IW! about drunk Mike and Dina.
Not to mention that Drunk Mike was first established here:
Thank the maker
It kinda looks like he can see us in the final panel.
Don’t laugh, when Animal Man took peyote, he gained fourth wall awareness. Maybe Alcohol has the same result on Walky.
You know, I never thought the Walky can’t hold his liquor was that funny, its Walky….
Sal being drunk however is hilarious. Simply because the dark brooding anti-hero being boozed up is funny as hell.
Oh man we’re finally here! The Walky can’t hold his liquor jokes are some of my favorites.
Bitter sour butt-taco?
I remember when I had my first beer (it was on my 18th birthday and I was legal back then). My reaction to the taste was about the same, and I ended up pouring most of it down the sink.
Boy, how times changed!!
My first beer was in Germany, where incidentally, I also got my first hangover, after attempting to drink one of these

The beer not the woman
Giant beers are good for comedy effect, but they’re not practical. They’ll have gone flat by the time you get to the bottom.
Thus forcing you to drink faster.
Eh, they’d probably expect you to share them… or go swimming in them, whichever comes first. (That’s always what they seem to end up doing in TV shows and movies, anyway.)
…one sip.
You had one sip, Walky. Of beer, not even hard liquor.
A Butt and a Leg? A Butt and a Pin perhaps?
Panel 2 begs the awful question: How does Walky know what buttcheese tastes like?
I have faith that he doesn’t, and is simply being hyperbolic. It gets me by.
Look, beer is pretty gross, but if it tastes like butts or cheese, there’s probably something wrong.
You don’t want to know where he keeps his emergency stash of Nachitos.
I’m pretty sure this isn’t actually how beer works. Had Willis ever drank beer at the time he drew this?
Yes, I had.
Fair enough. I sure haven’t.
SELF OWN
Walkertwins powers activate! Form of: totally shitfaced
The first (and last) beer I ever tried made me think, “Yep, tastes just like rotten grain.”
What was that, a sip? Man, he is weak.
