Every place I go it's either been sitting forever, or in the case of bars, the handle is always covered with a cup(empty and not being refilled). There are certain types I could see who would still buy it, and certain bars. Saying you see it sold and drank everywhere you go says more about who you associate with than the beers popularity.

Lo fucking L. I drive SxS's through corn fields to get to the fucking bar. You're out of your element Nutt. Country/rural people just don't give a fuck. We have fun. You live in the Southwest and don't have a clue about how we live here in modern time. I know you lived in Michigan, but things have changed bigly in the midwest. No one actually cares. This is purely a CA and East coast thing.
Y'all live on a different planet. And I've been to everyones state and city/town that have mentioned it here. I know what I know. Not really a dispute. Bud Light is drank everywhere. I don't drink it. But this idea some "boycott" made a different is bull shit.

No Yuengling? Yuengling is everywhere here. I'm pretty sure that Yuengling is available outside the Northeast now that it has a brewery in Tampa.
I'm sure the outrage cut sales for sure. Not disagreeing. Every chain restaurant has it though for the most part. It's Miller, Bud and Coors unless it's a brewpub type place. Coors Light is the worst beer ever made is all I'll say on the three. Bud Light is manageable, not good.

Nope. I've had it before, but it is not in these parts. Even Chicago. At least that I've ever seen. Definitely not by me.
It's like Spotted Cow with Wisconsin. They'll only sell it in Wisconsin. Kind of dumb, though I don't know the rules for shipping alcohol across borders and the expense involved. Not a bad beer, but they legit only sell it in Wisconsin. Anyone I know that drives east will bring back a case of Yuengling most the time.
I don't mind it, but I cannot switch beers. Not that I drink enough to be hung over, but when I've had too much of a different beer I feel like shit. Where I can drink Busch Light all day and wake up at 4am and workout and not feel like I drank. I call it beer water. I tend to not change things once I find out what's working for me. I'm not the bastion of health with any consumption. But not fat and am athletic. Think John Daly the golfer but not fat, I quit smoking 7 years ago roughly and I don't drink diet coke. Maybe the occasional Coke once a month. I do drink more than average. Docs don't take issue with my recent tests. CT, MRI, EEG and bloodwork.
I think I'm a freak if I'm being honest. If I'm at an event I can promise pretty much everyone on this forum would be puking if they tried to keep pace with me. I don't drink like that daily. Usually just a few night cap beers. But socially it's different. I have probably 20 coolers. Different sizes for the occasion. My favorite is the laptop looking one that only fits 8 beers. Keeps me in line. When I bust out the backpack cooler you're in trouble. Or the monster cooler that takes two people to get out of the car.

As long as you're not driving backwards...
I guess you think Yuma is the city? Everyone here has a truck, mostly so they can tow their RV's and toys out to the desert. Although it's common to see them on the road this side of town. We only have like 10 radio stations, and majority are country or ranchero. Oh yeah, and this time of year we have LOTS of people from the midwest. Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Dakotas, Indiana, Kansas, and all across Canada. Big Lesbian is rarely served, ordered, or drunk. My family still lives in Michigan and Iowa. In fact, in the West side of the state, you'd do well to steer clear of that queer beer. People aren't too supportive of gays out there.
I haven't lived in the city in four years, and I remember guys laughing at this dude who did buy a BL after work one day. Not in a mean way, but we knew why, and he took it well. Mexican's and white mountain folk if your wondering.

You can find it all over. Never looked for it before my cousin from Florida mentioned it.

I've been to Yuma and the Southwest extensively. Driving dunes is not what we do. We drink and drive through fields of our neighbors that own 80% of the land in our area. My kids and my family are friends with probably the biggest farmer in the region. We're talking 8k acres plus. Family owned. Not corporate.
Michigan is not remotely anything like where I live. Know plenty of that state. Iowa doesn't care either. That's just your family. Again, I don't drink it. No one really cares in the Midwest. We're not gay. It's the gays that get the most offended by Bud Light. We just drink beer if we like it. I don't. I'm a Busch Light guy and it's available everywhere. No trans with that brand even though under the same umbrella corp.

I feel the same way. The last time I bought a burrito I was nearly sick from how large it was.
I was in France 20 years ago, and although I only spent a week there on work assignment, I just started to drop weight. I think we have another problem, I think our food supply is literally poisoned. I find it's very easy to drop weight if I simply eat only at home.
I have bigger issues with food over booze. We need smaller portions.

Oh please.
People aren't doing an active boycott, what's happening is that it's now associated with a freak that has been grooming children. If somebody is at a bar and orders a Bud Light, people look at them sideways and their friends make fun of them.
Nobody is going to remember who Dylan Mulvaney is in less than a year - just like nobody knows who Zoe Quinn is, or Anita Sarkessian, or Suey Park, or Emma Sulkowicz - but that doesn't matter. Bud Lite is now associated with "fags" and even homosexual men don't like queeny homosexuals.
Previously Bud Lite was the "fuck you egghead" or "I don't need that gay ass hoity toity craft beer" beer. The entire product was built around an image, and now it's associated with this:
It's never going to recover from that. It's not going to hurt their other brands, just that brand. Bud Lite is going to be for a long time associated with that.
But this idea some "boycott" made a different is bull shit.

I suggest Becks or St Paulie Girl, as both of those are under $12 a 12 pack these days. Where has Butwiper has been pushing the boundaries to how much they could charge for their Cultural Grog. I wouldn't mind seeing Shiner Boc become a huge national brand with a wider distribution than it currently has. Though when I do find it at the Publix here in South Florida, it's around $10.99 or more, for a 6pack. Even Guiness is a dollar cheaper than that on average.
I heard some chime in telling everyone to support their local craft beer brewers. I have never EVER had one single beer from a craft brewer that tasted anything like a old traditional beer recipe. And that's very important to me. I don't want off tastes, and hints of herbs, berries, citrus, or your Xer's vag yeast. Whart ever the fuck they put in there!
The problem I have with local craft beers, they have no respect for the traditional tried and true methods, and just brew a proper Lager, Pilsner, Ale, or Stout. They always have some untraditional ingredients in there, that makes it taste like crap, while they give a cute flavor name, which taste nothing like they suggest. Plus you can factor a good 40% of the cost of their beer goes into their packaging and marketing efforts. They claim they are craft beers, but they are trying like hell to be a major distributor at the expense of not focusing on a product worthy of such hullabaloo. And if I'm at a one more party and there's nothing left in the beer cooler but 9 seltzer fizzy beer, or sour IPAs in the cooler. I'm going loose my mind. Who brings these nasty beers, then proceeds to drink the hosts honest real beers? Nobody likes your soda beer, and IPA leave that crap at home. Who ever is doing that!
