"Drinkability," my ass. How does ANYONE drink this shit (Bud Light)?

[Zavulon]

Some friends brought over beer this past weekend and there were a couple Bud Lights in the fridge. I decided to have one because it's light and I figured it'd be just cold and bland, which was exactly what I was looking for.

Now I've never actually drank urine - but this is what I imagine it tastes like. Holy fuck, this beer sucks.

Does anyone here actually enjoy its "drinkability?"

[crimsonblue]

1. hey there.

We don't take kindly to yer kind round here.

[TK421]

2. Your "friends" actually played a cruel joke on you....you see, that really WAS urine n/t

[petronius]

21. In that case I'd say they did him a favor (nt)

[bigwillq]

3. I am not a Bud Light fan

unless it is in a keg and there's nothing else, or if I am playing beer pong, then I am not really concerned about what's in the cup as long as I win! :P

[johnnie]

4. It's not that bad

I can think of a few more "beers" that people drink that are worse than Bud Light.

[Taverner]

5. Well water has its place ya know

Some people like the taste of stale bongwater when they drink beer

I don't

But that's just me

[Celeborn Skywalker]

6. I don't hate it.

I like darker, fuller beers much better, but to me Bud Light isn't bad, just bland and tasteless kind of like Keystone Light. Now Coors is a beer that I actually think tastes bad.

[rurallib]

33. With Coors labor policies and Peter Coors at the helm

drinking a Coors would make me puke.

[Pierre.Suave]

7. It pretty much sucks

[trotsky]

8. No discernible taste whatsoever.

It's like beer with everything that makes it beer, removed. Leaving just a tiny bit of alcohol, some yellow color, and bubbles.

[Hobarticus]

9. "Drinkability" is code for "you have no taste? You'll love it!"

Ugh.

[LeftyMom]

10. Fuck no.

As a general rule, any beer you can get in a can is going to be putrid. And light beer is for college students who don't know any better.

[GOPisEvil]

11. Better than Coors Light.

But that's like being the best ice skater in Ecuador.

[Fleshdancer]

12. ugh. put it back in the horse.

I have NO idea. It's not cheap enough to taste that bad either. I don't get it.

[Danger Mouse]

13. The same way anybody chokes down the majority of shitty American beers.

by being too drunk or too stupid to care what it tastes like.

[johnnie]

14. Americans make some great beers

You just have to know where to find them.

[DarkTirade]

15. Unfortunately those great beers aren't the majority.

Although they have been gaining in popularity the last few years.

[Danger Mouse]

16. I'm not saying all American beers are shitty, but the most popular ones generally are.

And seriously, 'Golden Anniversary'? :puke:

[johnnie]

17. McDonald's and Burger King are popular too

Whatever people want to drink is fine by me. Luckily most stores carry different beers and we aren't forced to drink the fast-food beers if we don't want to. To me, a Bud Light is fine for a cold beverage with some alcohol. If I want to savor tastes and be snobby, I can just as easily get me something a little more to my taste.

[Initech]

44. What I dont get is:

Why the hell would you go to a microbrew or brewpub or a place like the Yardhouse, that serves all kinds of great beer, and drink domestic slop? I honestly do not get it.

[Fire Walk With Me]

18. You are all adults. You should all have come to this conclusion upon your initial exposure.

Even if it be merely by name or country of origin.

[flvegan]

19. If it's from the Bud/Busch family, it's shit.

That's just all there is.

[LeftyMom]

26. My sister actually likes that shit.

Seriously, Bud Light is her favorite beer. But she'll steal my good beer if she doesn't have time to stop at the store.

I told her to tell me next time and I'll go buy her a case of swill, rather than wasting decent stuff on drunk college kids who are just going to use it to chase shots of Jager. :scared:

[redqueen]

29. This is the correct answer. (nt)

[Silver Swan]

20. Well, I don't care for Bud Light

But it just may be a prejudice against Budweiser products.

I do drink Miller Lite, and other Miller products.

But I agree Coors is the very worst.

[Radical Activist]

22. My first beer was a bud or bud light.

I hated it. I still hate both. I enjoy many beers but I can't finish a Bud product.

[Lucian]

23. Worst. Beer. Ever.

There is no "drinkability" to Bud Light. :puke:

[Fire Walk With Me]

41. Radio Shack long offered a sub-brand named "Realistic".

Meaning, less than the real thing. "Drinkability" falls into the same category.

[Inchworm]

24. Not me

I have gotten into scuffles at bars who tried to push that craq on me.

Bud isn't spectacular, or even a "better" beer, but it is always the same :)

:hi:

[krispos42]

25. Drink enough of it, you won't care what it tastes like.

Drink even more than that, you won't remember drinking it.


Which is probably for the best for everybody concerned anyway.



<curls hand protectively around bottle of Sam Adams>

[Withywindle]

27. No "Light" or, worse, "LITE," anything.

That's the rule in my house.

Of course, regular Budweiser is no better than Bud Light, or at least I can't tell. One is horse piss and one is sheep piss, I guess.

[tigereye]

28. the amount of money spent on commercials is inversely proportional to the

quality of the beer, IMHO.


:puke:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

30. It's watered down beer, but other than that, it's beer.

And I'll say it again, all beer tastes the same.

I'm not knocking beer, because I like beer. But I've come to the scientific conclusion that yes, all beer does taste the same. No matter what brand or country of origin, beer will always taste like beer to me.

[yellowcanine]

31. I hear it works well as slug bait.

[yellowcanine]

32. Oh snap. Duplicate post.

[Rambis]

34. beer?

I am a Guinness and Smithwicks man- I don't like Belgian beers because of the floral character of the hops they use (ie fat tire) I am not really a hoppy IPA or ESB man either because I don't think they have enough balance. Hoppy for hoppy sake is not for me- Is there anyone out there who might recommend a red ale, brown ale or a stoudt (not chocolate or cream)

Beers I do like
Sammy Smith (all sorts)
Alley Cat Amber (tastes scotts ale)
Belhaven Scottish Ale
Wee heavy


I have been to many a beer festival and have tried many different types of beer. My favourite beer of all time is Guinness or Smithwicks on draught in Ireland but a close second is a black lager from the Czech republic Pivovar Herold.

Cheers!

[lazyriver]

35. Bud Light is hands down the best beer ever...

for killing slugs in the garden.

It is good for nothing else except manufacturing the worst hangovers and what we used to call in college a bad case of "Bud Mud".

[Beer Snob-50]

36. my son's suitemates at school love this shit

he did also until daddy gave him a sam adams octoberfest beer. he now refuses to drink the same stuff as his mates and makes sure he has money for the better stuff.

[Xithras]

37. No kidding. One of my friends loves that swill.

I honestly don't get it. My friends take turns buying beer for our occasional poker/movie nights, and most of them will come walking in with a case of Fat Tire, Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada Ale, or even Guiness. This one friend however, without fail, will always come walking in with a case of Coors Light.

It's a damned good thing that I keep a case of New Belgium seasonal in the pantry.

As an interesting aside: The truly sorry thing about Coors is that they pump out crap even though they KNOW how to make better beer, but they recongize and accept the fact that their name is crap to real beer drinkers. Coors owns Blue Moon, which is a damned fine ale in its own right. Blue Moon isn't a company they bought, but a line actually created by Coors to appeal to real beer drinkers. They left the Coors name off the bottle because they knew NO beer drinker worth his hops would touch a Coors brew. Good thing too...Blue Moon is a good beer made by a company famous for passing off horse piss as ale.

[kwassa]

38. Take a very bland lager and then water it down. Makes sense.

Water is drinkable, too.


It just isn't beer.

[kwassa]

39. Dupe delete. System burped after drinking Bud Lite.

[dembotoz]

40. to call it horse piss is an insult to horses everywhere

I know it is not polite to dump on domestic products, but my gawd that stuff is bad.

[Kali]

42. you know, if you have been out in the hot sun working all day

and some guy drives up with a bunch of 'em in a cooler, they can taste DAMN good. Maybe that is why so many Mexicans like bud light. It's always kind of weird to go down there and be enjoying some good German style Mexican beers and all the locals are drinking freaking Bud Lights.:crazy: (or tecate, the Bud of Mexico)

[Initech]

43. Corporate catch phrases are competely, utterly stupid.

Drinkability, "how guys do fancy", and my favorite - "nugnuts" - whatever the fuck that is.
