Why is bud light among the top selling beers in the world?!


Question:

Why is bud light among the top selling beers in the world?

It tastes like watered down FLAT beer. No matter how cold or how fast it is drank, the last mouthful is always the worst. So why is such a pathetic product so popular?

Many good answers thank you all for taking this serious enough to give such responses. Obviously, advertising and the demon television is to blame for many of the inequities present in America when compared to other developed nations. The fact that guys want to look cool, and even some girls, by drinking more crap beer than less quality/higher alcohol content beer is also a definite factor. Commercialism will be the end of American glory. We are ALL sheep in this country in one form or another, and Bush is a goat.

It seems a large number of the beers main demographic (American men aged 18-35)...

a) ...like to impress others (mainly women) by quaffing large quantities of beer. The weaker and more insipid the beer - the better they can look.
b) ...generally have a lower tolerance to alcohol than many others
c) ...are easliy convinced by slick advertising

Because 95% of beer drinkers just want a cheap buzz that goes down easy. Beer with no taste is always easy to drink.

Personally I like beer with flavour, but the swilling masses interpret flavour as offensive tastes. Anything darker than their drunken piss or with more than a milligram of hops is too bitter, and too heavy tasting to them.

May as well drink soda water with vodka and yellow food colouring.

Quite simply the power of advertising. You will find the most popular beers around the world are not the most popular with its residence generally.

Fosters in Australia is not a popular beer in the bars but go to the UK and everyone is drinking it.

cheap and avaliable. enormously sponsored and advertised. plus most americans wouldnt no good taste if it bit them in the ***

like coca cola, its branding and wen u sell a product by saying 'wassup?? don't you think you just heard a friend? thats why you'd drink bud light.

bud light is a product of the king of beers. it is also light so in a world where most of the population is overweight why wouldnt the best beer be the light king of beers!

because of the WAZZUP!!! commercial

Because it's what Jesus drank.

same reason bush was elected, people cant make wise choices

it's the advertising.

but interestingly enough, it has more calories than coors light and also lower alcohol content than coors light. so spread the word and stop people from making a bad decision.

just search the internet for beer and calories, you can find lists of this kind of information.

B/c it's cheap.
