That’s Not A Solution

I have a friend who drinks Miller Lite exclusively. And he adds salt to it before he drinks it. I once asked him why and he replied it improved the taste. Huh? Naturally I suggested he simply start with a better tasting beer in the first place. He was unconvinced.
Now there's a new product called "Hops Drops" that was developed as a flavor enhancing addition for cheap beer.
Which brings me back to the question I asked of my swill-salting friend, "Why not start with good tasting beer in the first place?"
As an aside, I was once told the idea of putting salt in beer came from WW II vets returning from Europe who were disgusted by the taste of mass-market swill available in the states. In the 1940's they may have had an excuse. With the abundance of good breweries today, there's no excuse.
