Name your Swill Beer

I guess it depends. Are you looking for a Pilsner, or a CHEAP beer? If you are looking for a nice refreshing Pilsner, look no further than Victory's Prima Pils. IMO, its one of the best German Pils you can buy in the US. Chill these down and its just (if not more) refreshing than PBR or any other swill beer. If you are looking for cheap beer, it really doesn't matter IMO. Its all pretty much the same.
Miller Lite is my swill beer currently. Decades ago it was Coors Light and PBR. I may have to revisit a PBR they were always pretty good on a hot summer day. What's this about them not made in MKE anymore?

I am very happy to see that so many people here are as snobbish as I am when it comes to beer. I would say though that when it is 43C out, I do not crave barleywines... You guys have show me a lot of integrity and you should be commended for that 
On a different note, I made another trip to the store and bought a 6er of PBR. I am much happier with that selection, much better and cleaner beer than MHL, yuck!!!! My plan is to explore this issue seriously during this summer, if I can. I think that I will for for "the beer that made a certain city famous" next
How about Rotten Rock?

I'm recently discovered "Old Milwaukee" and it seems to be the only cheap beer I ever liked. When I was much younger I used to drink whatever came in a 40oz.
PBR or High Life. I like collecting the PBR caps and High Life gives you points to buy stuff.
A six pack of Abita goes for about $12 by me! The same local bodega runs a perpetual special of $3.75 for a sixer of Coors Original. I think the Coors is kind of tasty when ice cold.

If you're talking about Rolling Rock, be aware that it's no longer brewed in it's home city of Latrobe, PA. RR was bought out by Anheuser-Busch in 2006, they shut down the Latrobe brewery, and moved production to New Jersey.
Never having been a fan of Rolling Rock, it really doesn't matter to me one way or the other, but there were (are?) a lot of pissed-off RR fans around here when that happened.
Genesee.
Stack High Gravity Lager.
any more and my insides start rebelling next day.

Oh yeah, I missed a few posts yesterday, I may have been researching . I love PP, excellent German pils, in the same class as Old Dominion Tuppers Hop Pocket Pils or Broklyn Pilsner but it is not swill in my book. The PP has a hop wallop (not to be confused with the beer named Hop Wallop). I love Victory beers, especially Old Horizontal and Storm King but they are ALL excellent.

If Canadian, Kokanee.
If they still make Schaefer, that's about as good and swill as you can get! It stopped drinking it in college, and have been a beer snob ever since.

This. Pabst or Mickey's.
Tecate! or Busch (but I like to snob it up and throw a lime into the can).
Old Milwaukee tall boys. Do it!
Mine was PBR until recently when I switched to Busch. Tastes a little better and just as cheap.
Who here remembers Mickey's Ice 40 oz bottles? I used to drink that crap like crazy in high school
Busch is king of swills........dirt cheap and drinkable.
As a twentysomething who has spent time in Richmond, the only acceptable answer for me would be PBR! It is the People's Beer of Richmond, of course.
+1 except my wife thinks I'm snobbish about many things from beer to cars to gin to food to shave soap to whiskey. If it ain't Belgian or a fat American microbrew, I'm not much interested.
