does anyone actually drink bud light?

[SlitheryDee]

Sure, I'll drink bud light. It's like drinking water that gets you drunk. Little to no flavor means no extra special enjoyment, but it also means not especially repellent either.

With the exception of the small "unknowns"; American beer is total shit.

For fuck's sake, how do you get something like beer totally fucking wrong? And then to title it "King of Beers"? Come on. Hershey chocolate is also total shit, another question on how you get something like that totally wrong.

Yet - people in America eat up. I can't figure out how things that taste so awful are so popular in the US.

If it makes the people who drink it feel any better, Belzian beer is far worse. It's like sugar water. So, I take my 1st comment back, American beer is shit.

Umm you know Bud Light is the most popular beer in the world (excluding China) right? at least it was as of 2008 and I don't really see any super popular beers passing it since then. Hence being called the "King of Beers"

With an almost 16% share of the total market, Bud Light is also the world’s best selling beer, even though it’s only sold internationally in Canada, Ireland, Mexico, Colombia and Sweden.

Sure things could have changed since they did this, and they might not be super accurate but Bud Light is popular in more places than the US, so it's not just the USA that likes terrible beer.

btw not a fan of Bud Light at all, but blaming it on the US isn't really all that fair when it is popular worldwide.

It's MP, bitching about the US is how he distinguishes himself... oh wait, practically everyone that thinks they're refined in some way shape or form has to bitch about the US.

The US is too stupid/fat/lazy/corrupt/tacky/naiive/whatever and Europe is awesome. We get it.

What's more perplexing to me than the fact that anybody actually likes Coors Light is that people readily pay $7+ for it at sporting events.

 

[crownjules]

Drinkability!

No. Anything comes before the cheap swill of Bud, Coors, Keystone, etc. Fortunately, it's rare that I'm at an establishment or party that doesn't have something better.

 

[thegimp03]

If there's nothing else available and I want to drink, of course I will. Given other options, most likely not as I don't drink beer that much anymore unless it's for beer pong.

 

[gophins72]

usually not but sometimes i'll start out with higher quality beers then switch to the cheaper/lower caloric stuff.

 

[GTSRguy]

No, bud light sucks, the commercials suck

I can actually taste the nascar when i drink a bud light

the fact that it has the most sales and is sold elsewhere does not mean that it is popular elsewhere. the fact of the matter is that in the US bud light by itself outsells miller lite and coors light combined. it is 40% of ABI's shipments in the US by itself. it's by far the biggest selling beer in what is the largest beer market by dollar sales. that's enough to make it no. 1 worldwide even though barely anyone under 40 drinks it and barely anyone outside the US drinks it.

i just don't know anyone personally who drinks it.

 

[Macamus Prime]

We get it.

Saying you get it and actually getting it are two different things.

your name is a reference to both Macintosh computers and Transformers

And your name is in reference to a Mega Man boss and a song from the 80s.

BTW, ladies - McDonalds sells really well. So, by your "logic", which opposes my opinion of the world's shittiest beer, it means that McDonalds is greater than lobster and filet mignon. Typical; if it makes money, it's a great thing.

Stupid me.

I assumed it was a self titled name.



Thanks for correcting me.

Sadly, in my home Bud Light is an upgrade. Fridge is usually stocked with Busch Light. Not kidding. I am a bit snobbier per my actual tastes and preferences, but I'll go for just about anything if I am short on cash and want a drink

 

[Nintendesert]

I switched to Coors Light since it's one of the few American beers. And I'll drink Sam Adams.

 

[AstroManLuca]

Actually it's not. But nice try.

I just think it's hilarious that you seem to love certain American products but you also get all Euro-trashy and claim to hate American stuff as well. Keep hatin' on America, we don't care as long as you keep sending us money by buying Macs and Michael Bay DVDs.

coors is owned by a south african UK conglomerate.

 

[RagingBITCH]

I drink everything. I will drink Bud the night before a long run - nothing like drinking multiple stouts the night before a race to give you a major case of the shits. (Happened multiple times) The light beer doesn't do that.

For normal times out with the gf/friends, I'll drink "actual" beer Judge me, whatever.

 

[Nintendesert]

WHAT!! But they're in Denver!!!

You think I care, but I am actually being a buffoon towards an idiot like you.

Born and raised in the US. Paying taxes since 16.

I don't eat Big Macs - US burger beef is pure slime; as is anything Michael Bay.

Also, I have a BluRay player, stopped buying DVDs about 2 years ago.

 

[ElFenix]

ok this is a weird corporate structure:

about 6 years ago molson merged with coors to create molson coors. i had thought that molson coors was bought by SABMiller. turns out the two companies formed a JV, MillerCoors, to jointly market their swill in the US (which is why both use the tagline 'great beer, great responsibility').

so, molson coors is in denver. and montreal. joint headquarters.

So Coors is still the most American then of the major brewers then. Just a little tarnished by the non-American side of the company. I can live with that... but I may have to switch to Sam Adams entirely!

[IndyColtsFan]

see poal

i'll drink practically anything before bud light. only coors may be worse.

Bud Light (which is AWFUL) is nectar of the Gods compared to Coors. I die a little bit inside every time I see someone buy Coors products.

 

[lxskllr]

I'll occasionally drink cheap beer(and like it), but I'll never drink light beer. I especially don't like AB in general. Busch is my favorite from the company, but that isn't saying much. If the choice was Bud Light or nothing, 99% of the time I'll take nothing. Coors light? Nothing 100% of the time.

 

[pwnagesarus]

Out of the trio of light beers, I prefer Bud Light...but that's not saying much.
