It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

I love frosty mugs. When I lived in La Habra CA we had an A&W rootbeer place that served root beer in a frozen mug. It was great. That was in the early 70's.
Yep as a kid back then we had an A&W in Ventura, CA also, nowadays I'll take the frosty mug with Beer sans the root!
I wonder what a 25 cent platter is? I bet its good.
There was a pool hall in Greenville SC that served beer in frosty mugs.That was the best draft beer ever.Last time I was there I was 18.Hope they are still open.
when i was a young man i could get draft beer for a 1.00 a gallon if you brought your own jug and they didn't check your I.D.
There was a KFC/A&W in Utah that still served root beer in frosty mugs a while back. I quit going to KFC long ago, so I don't know if they still do.
About beer and no ID, when I was about 8, my parents could send me to the local bar to get a bucket of beer (they had a special quart tin bucket for it) and all I had to do was hand it to the bartender and carry it home. It was a Friday night thing, and I can only suppose they paid up at some later time. I was VERY careful walking home not to spill any. I think the bar sold those buckets for carry out. That was in the 50s.
How much if they checked your ID? Don
@gesshots Ever been to Rutt's Hut in Clifton, NJ. An institution since 1928. Deep fried dogs & a full bar.

Ballantine sponsored the Saturday night fights. My Dad never missed them. We got boxing gloves for Christmas around 1955.
When I was a kid back in the Fifties, I thought only older men could drink the "beer" out of the green bottles.
The party place of my youth ,Wells pizza palace , served draft budwiser in ice cold frosted mugs . Great stuff.

I grew up in South Jersey and I don't recall ever being in Clifton, NJ.
If I ever return to the Garden State, I'll look it up.
Frosty mugs are actually a drinking instruction tool. The idea is that you need to finish it before the ice melts and dilutes the beer. That's worked for me for 64 years. 😋
gesshots, those prices make me think I was born too late. However, when I was stationed at Ft. Monroe the NCO club served 16 oz Hamm's for $0.15. Those were the days.
