Thread: Help with some words

From this paragraph:

There are patterns of behavior that tend to indicate an impending life event. Looking for an apartment and working on your resume and upgrading from kegs of swill to four-pack microbrews, for example, might establish that someone is graduating. If your product or service could help someone at this stage in your life, your advertising to them is a mutually beneficial proposition.

I need to know what does this part of the paragraph means:

upgrading from kegs of swill to four-pack microbrews, for example, might establish that someone is graduating

Hi vicente! What does "swill" mean? That's a word I had never heard before. How would you translate it in Spanish?

It is also a verb meaning to drink.



In this context it means cheap beer that tastes terrible.

I'll leave it to a native to translate it in Spanish but it is something like bazofia o basura.

Got it!
Something like "basura" or "porquería". I heard "bodrio" is used in Spain too.
