Miller's High Life is the beer of the average "Joe 6-pack". Since palm wine is the drink of rural Congo, below is the Miller's High Life Guy. He delivers palm wine to the average "Bope".
Actually, rural Congolese are not frequent alcohol drinkers on the average. I believe its availability and cost limit overall alcohol use.
Palm wine is like fine wine or champagne. It is only served on special occasions such as weddings, funerals, births, and the like. And yes, it is served when the Americans come to visit. Drinking palm wine with the locals, the "Bope's" is a true bonding experience.
