What's second place, a lifetime supply of beets?

On the plus side, this would give good encouragement for their wives to stay thin.

That's a lot of Bud Light. I could wash my horse in it, I guess.

Course, I don't have a horse.

Bud Light is a great beer for drinking outside in the heat. Or drinking just to get hammered watching sports.

A dark beer is not appropriate for these circumstances.

There is a time and place for both good handcrafted beers and mass produced american light beers.

If you are going to drink about 20 beers during the day, it is dumb to pay for good beer, plus, it's hard to drink that much of the heavy stuff. And don't give me the "it's stronger...." line. Budweiser is stronger than Guiness.

O RLY? Heck, I'd take Rhi's weight in Bud Light. Or for that matter any commercialized american beer. If it were free. I wouldn't buy it, but I'd accept it and drink it. It's like free soda!

I was agreeing with you until that last sentence. In what way is Bud stronger than Guinness?

And are you comparing Guinness Draught to regular bud or are you comparing Extra Extra Stout?

When I drink Guinness, I only drink the Extra Extra Stout. At room temperature. I can't stand the Draught.

The regular stuff that can be had at any bar, which is what 99% of Guinness drinkers are referring to. You know that. Bud is 25% stronger in alcohol content.

My overall point remains, time and place, time and place.

Budweiser is a rice beer, which makes it a natural laxative. So you are not only drinking a horrible tasting beer, you are also ensuring a rough morning. There are plenty of good light beers you can drink without having to stoop to the bud light level. Sam Adams and Grolsh light are great. Yes you pay more, but why would you pay less to drink something that tastes bad and gives you gut rot?

How on earth would have rice as an adjunct make Bud a natural laxative? I'd venture that there's a hell of a lot less soluble fiber in white rice than in malted barley. The rice is almost pure starch which is why it mellows down the flavor.
Also, while I'll agree that Sam Adams light is a better tasting (not necessarily drinking) beer, Grolsch is crap. Here's an easy rule of thumb when buying beer: If it's imported and comes in a green or clear glass bottle, there's a 95% chance that it will be skunked. The green and clear glass goes for domestic beers too, except Miller, they chemically modify their hops so that they can't skunk.
I'm personally loving the recent sale of Anheuser-Busch. They've dropped all of their prices to get back American's good will and there have been some awsome sales at the supermarket lately.

I don't know about you guys but I'm so totally enamored with the fark beer snobs. They sound so mature, seem sooooo much cooler, and totally impress me when they post a picture of their favorite microbrew.

Ok, but seriously, I agree with whats-his-name up there saying that bud light is great for a hot day, or watching sports. I don't watch football, baseball, or any of that nonsense, but bud light is water that gets you feeling tipsy. You can put them down with ease and they aren't offensive to the pallet.

Don't get me wrong, I like good beer too, but being a beer snob is obnoxious. I know we all like beer, so let's take that word out of the equation and throw another noun in front of "snob." How about art snob, music snob, friend snob. Do these sound like people you want to associate with? No, because snobs are dicks. Do you want to be a beer dick?

Geez, now I just went on a rant.

You know drinking Bud is like having sex in a canoe... it's still ____ing close to water. :)

 
sat1va 2008-10-12 04:04:04 PM  
Bud Light is like sour mineral water. It's horrible and I won't even touch if it's free. Budweiser, MGD, Corona, Kokanee, and Canadian aren't much better, but I'll drink the crap if someone else is buying.

/but that's just, like, my opinion, man.

 
SpiderQueenDemon 2008-10-12 05:18:46 PM  
If it must be cheap beer, at least make it Budweiser Select. It's silly, but that kind really is nicer IMHO.

If it were Yuengling traditional lager, though, my fiance would probably be far more interested in weightlifting and I'd be far more interested in remembering my old lifts from cheerleading.

/I would equal much beer. Four or maybe even five cases.

The three on the left each have four stomachs, like other ruminants.

Point taken regarding the consistently high quality and utility of Bud light. It's good for what it's good for. That said, there is no sweet spot here where there is a woman who is worth her weight in Budweiser if carried X distance faster than anyone else. If the woman weighs more than a case of beer, you're better off just buying a case.

Now, maybe for her weight in Vintage Bigfoot Barleywine it's be worth throwing my back out and potentially wearing a truss for the next several years with one of the manatees in that unfortunate picture.

Drinking Bud Light is nothing to be ashamed of. But like masturbation it's nothing to be particularly proud of either.

 
Injuneer 2008-10-13 12:36:06 AM  
I think the worst part about Bud lite/Miller lite is that they spend far more effort and money trying to convince you this is an acceptable beer than they do on ingredients. "Life is too short to drink cheap beer"
