If one desires that distinguished drink, the Boilermaker, one can never order it on its own at a bar. Should this be attempted, there are two plausible outcomes: 1.) the patron must then explain the drink, and eventually just ask for a shot of (cheap) bourbon and a (cheap) beer, or 2.) the bartender simply serves, and charges, as if the later order had been made in the first place.
But the boilermaker is one drink, not two, and should be billed as such. Paying for a shot of whiskey (no matter how cheap) and a beer (no matter how cheap) is at least $3 more than one should be paying. In some bars more like $5.
Why must they so egregiously discriminate against those who enjoy a mixed drink based in beer!?

Misery is clearly messing with your sense of mass to currency ratios, your problem best situated by ordering a half-pint with a shot, and then order a High-Life for a buck, which will also provide a half beer and a glass for the next BM, heh, BM...
and mix a HighLife with some other as yet unnamed beer? I think you missed my cheapness stipulation. all beers involved are of the PBR variety.
The only solution is for the rest of the world to educate itself.
being in the midwest, surely you can find cheaper deals than the ones at hand, i.e. dollar shots, $3 pitchers, although you may need a "party" to condone such activity, and clearly ordering a full beer with a full shot warrants a double price, were the beer a non-alcoholic "mixer," then you would have reason to complain, find another bar, or boil at home...
