After their last final exam, seven seniors had a mission: get trashed at Finagle-A-Bagel. The bakery boasts not only the famous Bagel Buzz saw, but a drink menu as well--complete with domestic and imported beer, red and white wine and even champagne. Why bagels and beer? In order to circumvent Square zoning laws that outlaw certain types of chains, the Faneuil Hall-based cafe has been forced to serve up cabernet along with cream cheese. Faced with militant, underage bouncers, sky high prices and a paltry selection, the thirsty bunch had a daunting task before them...

Mood muzak blared in the background, but the yuppie, thirty-somethings already present were more interested in devouring "energy bar" bagels than scoping the scene.

Since its beginnings more than a century ago in Johannesburg's gold-mining camps, SAB has established a near monopoly in its vast--and thirsty--home market. Popular brands like Castle and Lion are nursed in bars and at barbecues across South Africa. SAB's 98% domestic-market share has funded the company's expansion into 20 countries across Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. In 1998, foreign operations made up 45% of the company's $3 billion in worldwide beer sales. SAB is looking to expand further in Africa and Asia...
