-Hitting on unattractive members of the opposite sex
-Dancing and (consequently) vomiting (often at the same time)

Example sentence: "Dude, I'm totally Pabst right now."
Example:
Here is a dialogue from the 1986 film "Blue
Velet" exemplifying the Pabst Blue Ribbon Mentality (note:
Frank Booth is played by
Dennis Hopper):
Frank Booth: What kind of beer do you like to drink, neighbor?
Jeffrey Beaumont: Heineken.
Frank Booth: Heineken? Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!
