Pet Peeve!

http://http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/domestic

Domestic Drafts: I can't stand when a bar advertises a special such as "$2-Any Domestic Drafts" and so I order a locally crafted beer from Victory, Flying Fish, Dogfish Head or any other beer made within 60 miles or so of the bar and I am told the special is for Domestic drafts only. Domestic means "produced within this country" so all of the above beers should be included or the bar should use different terminology. In fact, what they are really offering is $2 drafts on American beers bought out by foreign countries-Bud, Miller and Coors are almost always considered domestic drafts even though they are owned by Foreign companies!
