You know it's time to give up when Burger King gets in on the deal. The company's new Whopper Bar will debut in mid-February in the heart of South Beach. Now you can get cheap, mass-produced beer with your cheap, mass-produced burgers.

A burger and a beer -- selections from Miller Coors and Budweiser available in aluminum bottles -- will run $7.99. Cheaper than 8 Oz. or Beer and Burger Joint, yes, but hardly in the same ball park.

What's next? McSchlitz's?
