I have never been a Bud Light drinker, but I will pick up a six or twelve-pack the next time

shop for adult beverages.

Addendum: having read and considered the contrary views of several DUers, some of whom I respect, I will NOT be purchasing Anheuser-Busch products.

There are better beers.

Let them fight among themselves and support a local micro-brewery.

So at least some of the OP's money is going straight into Republican-donated coffers. It is all the bottom line $$$--whether profits or donors.

How about: buy it because you like their beer (I don't). You're not "sending a message" by buying a six-pack because the Tik Tok "boycott" isn't impacting their financials at all.

They have probably had a surge in sales because these folks like to go buy something just to shoot it up and film themselves boycotting……

...it did affect them for about 4 days.
Then, the fools "changed" beers, in many cases, made by the same company.
Overall though, you're correct. This was a tempest in a teapot, from a business perspective.

Just because they hired a trans person to be a spokesperson doesn't mean that they support trans people they fucking give the Republicans that fuck us over so I would definitely reconsider that idea
