Occasionally, after drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, you become extremely motivated about some particular topic of conversation and then when the buzz wears off you question how you ever found the topic even remotely interesting, let alone worthy of extended conversation. Last weekend a debate over the “Best East Coast Supermarket Chain” erupted. It was resolved in a seeded bracket system (taking in to account overall value, selection, fresh and prepared foods, and store quality)… I feel compelled to show the results below. This drunkbate did not include big-box stores such as Costco, Walmart, or Target.

We might as well have been deciding whether to launch a nuclear attack on North Korea when we were deciding this thing, and many match-ups went to diplomatic debate involving Robert’s Rules. But again, once sober, I have no clue why this was such an engaging debate.
