When I lived in PA, the beer was cheaper in PA than NJ or NY, but you had to be 21 [which I was not]. And, most of PA beer was sold in specialty beverage stores in returnable 16 oz deposit bottles [you never did that in NY at the time].
I used to get a 21 year old to buy my beer for Physics recitation help. I could fit a case in my little dorm fridge.
In 1980, I mostly I bought a rather poor beer called "Bartel's" which had as it's trademark "the old professor". It cost less than $1 per case [cheaper than coca cola], and wasn't all that bad properly chilled. In NY the cheapest beer at the time was likely Schmidt's or Old Milwaukee at around $1.10 per six on sale.
I rarely drank any myself [I used to type papers for sixes of Molson's Canadian and mostly drank Southern Comfort that year anyway], but it was there for all the guys that hung around my dorm room watch my pirated cable [yes, I was a media stealer from WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back!]
