    But thats my point. Its utterly stupid to punish a company for trying to market to differnet crowds.in what way or how does TRans people drinking Bud Light effect you or your life or your enjoyment of the product?

    This is just stupid, and the people going nuts are just biggoted jerks.

    I'm sure the voting Women in our Country are far more concerned who the marketing, spokesmodel is for a **** beer than making decisions on their own health. LOL

    I'm cis gender I assume because I haven't had my wedding tackle removed in favor of a false vagina yet. Here's hoping that will always be true for me.

    Fake news. It's perfectly rational to turn from a provider that sees you as "less than" and who chooses a mascot that mocks and demeans women.

    They want a different customer base, and their former customer base wants a different beer. Why do you have an issue with folks simply making choices? If Dylan wants to flounce around mocking and demeaning women, he's free to, A/B is free to use him as a mascot, and their former customers are free to change beverages.

    Beware: Anheuser-Busch Owns All of These Brands Too

    'It turns out, unsurprisingly, that Americans don't want their suds to have a woke aftertaste.'

    'In addition to Bud Light and Budweiser offerings, Anheuser-Busch owns Kona Brewing Co., Michelob Ultra, Stella Artois, Estrella Jalisco, Busch, Natural Light, Landshark Lager, Presidente, Hoegaarden, Shock Top, Bass Pale Ale, Beck's, and Boddington's Pub Ale. If you've bought those beers, you've supported Bud Light's parent company. But Anheuser-Busch's reach doesn't end there.'

    'The company's "Beyond Beer roster includes hard seltzers, canned wines, canned cocktails, and more," according to its "family of brands" list. BABE Rosé and canned wines are also owned by Anheuser-Busch, as are Cutwater Spirits canned cocktails, Hiball energy drinks, NUTRL vodka seltzers, Bon Viv spiked seltzers, Boxology wine margaritas, and RITAS sparkling margaritas. Again, if you've bought those drinks, you've supported Bud Light's parent company. '

    'Anheuser-Busch, the company also lists a number of "craft partners", includes, 10 Barrel Brewing Co., Appalachian Mountain Brewery, Blue Point Brewing Co., Breckenridge Brewery, Cisco Brewers, Devils Backbone Brewing Company, Elysian Brewing, Four Peaks Brewing Co., Golden Road Brewing, Goose Island Beer Co., Karbach Brewing Company, Omission, Platform Beer Co., Red Hook, Square Mile Cider Co., Veza Sur Brewing Co., Virtue Cider, Wicked Weed Brewing, Widmer Brothers Brewing, and Wynwood Brewing.'

    'In addition to these main product offerings, a full listing of products and brands owned by Bud Light's parent company Anheuser-Busch also includes O'Doul's non-alcoholic beer, Rolling Rock, St. Pauli Girl, King Cobra malt liquor, Los Sundays tequila seltzers, Margaritaville Tropical Punch, MD 20/20 spiked punch, Montejo, Neon Burst hard drink, Noonshine, Redbridge, and Spaten.'

    If folks want to support them, that's fine,
    If they don't, that's fine.

    I applaud the freedom to choose in the marketplace, that's all.

    That in and of its self shows your bias and bigotry.

    If just recognizing someone as equal makes someone else "less than", then the whole issue is that they dont really believe in equality, and think they should get preferential; treatment.

    Only jerks think they should get preferential treatment over another group.

    And its usually white conservative men who always go nuts. Go figure.

    Fake News. Your response shows your tendentiousness and intolerance.
    Fake News, they dissed their long time loyal consumers as 'fratty' and made it clear they wanted the trans Gen Z crowd, and they are more than free to do so. Just as their former longtime loyal customers are free to move on. You seem to have a real hatred of Freedom and Liberty.
    I have no idea what you are blathering on about.

    Red Sox fans at Fenway Park shut out Bud Light over Dylan Mulvaney fiasco.

    Interesting considering Boston is a hard Left city, D+63. It's 4/5ths Democrats.

    A TikTok video posted Wednesday shows fans waiting in line while the adjacent stand that sells the blue Bud Light cans is deserted.

    The Fenway FU to the prancing mocker who demeans women.

    No wonder Dems are working so frantically to rig the primaries against Bobby Kennedy. He's got a set of Boston-tough balls and he doesn't go in for all this disdain for the Working class and woke crap that we are getting out of the current crop of the mouth pieces of the Left.

    It's lost $11B in market cap since the Trans-launch.

    HSBC Downgrades Anheuser-Busch Stock over Bud Light Sales ‘Crisis’.

    [​IMG]

    'The financial firm HSBC has officially downgraded the stock of Anheuser-Busch InBev (ABI) amid growing concerns that backlash against the company’s partnership with a transgender social-media influencer, Dyland Mulvaney, continues to hamper sales.'

    A LITTLE LATE.

    'Anheuser-Busch is currently in the midst of dealing with a “Bud Light crisis” and that there are “deeper problems than ABI admits.”'

    'Beer Marketer’s Insights – an alcohol industry research outfit – reported a 25 percent decline in beer sales for the company in April.'

    'The announcement came in response to reports that distributors were losing millions of dollars daily following consumers abandoning the brand in the wake of its sponsorship of Mulvaney in early April. Since then, the company has released two patriotic-styled advertisements in a bid to push past the controversy, both of which have failed to staunch plummeting sales.'

    It's funny how the left is telling us that hemorrhaging sales numbers is really no big deal and the company is doing great

    Mulvaney isn't a woman, doesn't really understand women, no man truly does so the best he can do is a sad pathetic half a bubble of plumb parody.

    I suppose that's true in some regards. Though I'm curious in what ways those who oppose transgendered people think men don't truly understand women. Because I've heard some crazy misunderstandings about women from conservative men, some that have been pointed out to me by women about men in general, and so I'm curious what that list looks like to those on the right who are boycotting Bud Lite over Mulvaney.

    Men an women are human beings. Because our endocrine systems are different we are different both in how we react to and deal with stressful situations but that is only the tip of the iceberg. Girls are not boys with vaginas and boys are not girls with penises.
    Note I find the term trans people objectionable because it has no basis in either logic or reality. People who believe they are the opposite sex from their body parts and DNA have a mental illness and need competent psychiatric help, they do not need their neuroses or psychosis affirmed they need them treated by competent psychiatric not surgery.

    The female body generates estrogen and functions around making use of the compound similarly men generate testosterone and their body functions around it's use. There are also other differences and frankly science knows damn little about how all this works together.

    AND THE HITS JUST KEEP ON COMING: Anheuser-Busch loses LGBTQ+ rating for missing ‘key moment’ to stand up for Dylan Mulvaney.

    They turned Bud-Light, which was the top selling beer into Tranny Fluid that far fewer will drink, and the Alphabet-Nazis still dumped the company.

    'The nation’s largest gay advocacy group stripped Anheuser-Busch of a key metric following the beer giant’s backpedaling over Bud Light’s controversial tie-up with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney.'

    THAT'S JUST AWESOME!

    'The Human Rights Campaign, which issues a Corporate Equality Index to rate companies on their policies toward workers in the LGBTQ community, told the Belgian-based brewer that it will slash its perfect 100 score, according to a letter leaked to USA Today on Thursday.'

    'Sales of the nation’s top-selling beer have plummeted nearly 25% since Mulvaney posted a photo of a Bud Light tallboy featuring her face on April 1.'

    THEY DIDN'T BEND OVER FAR ENOUGH

    '“Anheuser-Busch had a key moment to really stand up and demonstrate the importance of their values of diversity, equity and inclusion and their response really fell short,” Eric Bloem, HRC’s senior director, programs and corporate advocacy, said, told USA Today.'

    'Anheuser-Busch’s Alissa Heinerscheid really wreaked havoc with her previously apolitical brand — both by issuing the Mulvaney can, and by attacking her existing customers as “fratty” and “out of touch.”'

    “This is what happens when corporations take sides in social debates — especially when their executives either don’t know their customer base, don’t like their customer base — or in Heinerscheid’s case, both.

    EXACTLY!

    Boehlke: Bud Light Brand So Trashed It Can't Give Beer Away

    'It’s official: Anheuser-Busch can’t even give its product away for free after its transgender publicity stunt. According to images shared on Twitter, stores in the Midwest are attempting to “sell” cases of Bud Light beer for free before they get skunky on the shelves, with the company offering up to a $15 rebate on products sold this Memorial Day weekend.'

    'Twitter user Michael Haz shared pictures of displays from two stores in beer-loving Wisconsin with the infamous brand attempting to offload 20-packs, originally priced at $15, for free after a rebate. Notice that even with the freebie, the displays are stocked.'

    [​IMG]

    'Bud Light sales have plummeted since national boycotts over their partnership with transgender-identifying influencer Dylan Mulvaney, whose face the company plastered on a can to celebrate his self-proclaimed first year of “girlhood.” Shortly after the trans fiasco, a 2021 interview emerged of a top Anheuser-Busch official describing how the brand uses so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion” ideology, a euphemism for the discriminatory and divisive poison, when marketing its products.'

    'Similar initial pressure has found success after Target injected its “pro-trans satanist stance” into “pride”-themed clothing for kids. It remains to be seen whether consumers will successfully give Target the full Bud Light treatment.'

    It's dropped 12% from $65 and it's over 14% below it's 52 week highs, and, you're welcome.

    Bud Light Offers $2.99 18-Pack After Sales Tumble Accelerates

    "17 cents per beer is cheaper than water..."

    This nearly give it away 'pricing strategy is an attempt by the brewer to stimulate demand as an ongoing' trans disaster 'dents sales for the sixth consecutive week.'

    [​IMG]

    'Other companies like Target and North Face have yet to learn from Bud Light.'

    Hey, if you're happy with cheap liquor, you save on cost.

    Escargot is very tasty. It can be served with bread, broccoli, white rice, a green salad.

    I'm the same way. Generally takes me about half an hour to drink a beer and I can sit here and drink it all day long and barely have a buzz by the time I go to sleep
