An inexpensive [[pale lager]] or [[light beer]] of 3.2–5% [[alcohol by volume|ABV]] is sometimes preferred because of the large quantities consumed during the course of several games.<ref name=autogenerated1>{{cite news |last=Van Westen |first=Brandon |title=College Connoiseur Talks About Beer |work=The Collegian |location=[[South Dakota State University]] |year=2007 |url=http://www.sdsucollegian.com/2007/12/13/college-connoisseur-talks-about-beer-2/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130202201232/http://www.sdsucollegian.com/2007/12/13/college-connoisseur-talks-about-beer-2/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=2013-02-02 |access-date=2012-08-20 }}</ref> Sometimes under house rules, there might be cups of other liquors used during the game.
