    I was just curious as to how many on here (that may have been Bud Light drinkers) have switched since or because or the controversy.
    Now, I'm not looking to start a flame war on here, but I was just wondering what some other's thoughts may be.

    How might you see things?

    I, myself, attend a very strict Lutheran church. So you might be able to guess how I may feel. I try not to drink Anheiser-Busch products any longer. And I have been to Target maybe twice in the last decade.

    What say you?

    I have been a long time Budweiser consumer, but don’t drink much beer these days. As of the latest A-B stunt I’m done with them, it’s a small victory but is one nonetheless. As for Target, haven’t been in one in years and now have a great reason to ignore them!

    Sam Adam's drinker here.

    Also, Michelob Ultra Light. I'll finish what I have and move on to some other non-AB product.

    Thought about going Labatt Blue, or Blue light. Only light beer I can stand.

    But still drink Busch regular.

    Never been in a Target, so there's nothing on that end.

    WAS a die hard bud light guy. I have a very limited beer tolerance, many just give me a pounding headache. Miller genuine draft used to treat me good. I’ve switched back, downside is not many places here carry it and it’s always in bottles.

    Black coffee, water and a occasional Gatorade Zero for me. Target is non existent in this area.

    I quit drinking regular beer in 2002 but once in a blue moon would buy a 12 pack of Bud Zero the last three years, after all the chit happened I haven't bought any. I've never been in a Target either.

    I have steered clear of all ABINBEV products for years which is harder to do than many would guess as they own so many labels…over 400 I believe. I’m a craft beer snob but they own some of them as well. If a brewery sells out to them, they are dead to me.

    LOL

    Relax, have a home brew. Which is pretty much what you're going to have to do anyway if you are going to let the LGBTQ+ politics of a beer company dictate your choices.

    And while you're at it, start walking, or get a horse, and sell your F150SilveradoRamTundra, and good luck sorting out your FREEDOM OF CHOICE for all of the other dozens of consumer products in your daily life that are manufactured by companies that are LGBTQ+ friendly.

    BTW, alcohol consumption raises your estrogen levels.:bug:

    Never did imbibe. I have basically forgone everything but milk or water these days. Most soda just tastes like chemicals now?

    Agreed, which is why I took things rather hard a couple years ago when my employment was threatened if I didn’t do as I was told.

    The end result of my life choices when I was younger mandated I change my drink of choice. I guess I’ve been boycotting all of them for years now? ;) Bud/bud light/Bush/Natural Ice etc all used to give me a terrible headache anyway. If I was binging on cheap lager beer, my go-to was either Miller High Life or Milwaukee’s Best.

    I'm a tried and true Yuengling guy, but I do like some local made brews here in my area as well....

    I'll drink an occasional Miller Lite as well as some different ciders (MacKenzie ciders are amazing). Boy I hope Yuengling doesn’t make a dumb move......

    Never had a BL nor been in a target. I'm a little upset that I can't quit consuming either in protest. :rofl: :lol:
