When the Hopkins researchers surveyed ER patients who’d been drinking, they found that Budweiser was the number one brand consumed, followed Steel Reserve Malt Liquor, Colt 45 malt liquor, Bud Ice (another malt liquor), Bud Light, and a discount-priced vodka called Barton’s.

Though Budweiser has 9.1 percent of the national beer market, it represented 15 percent of the of the E.R. “market.” The disparity was even more pronounced for Steel Reserve. It has only .8 percent of the market nationally, but accounted for 14.7 percent of the E.R. market. In all, Steel Reserve, Colt 45, Bud Ice, and another malt liquor, King Cobra, account for only 2.4 percent of the U.S. beer market, but accounted for 46 percent of the beer consumed by E.R. patients.

I think I found the cause of that damn-near-half statistic:

quote:
Higher-alcohol malt liquor, for example, is heavily advertised in African-American neighborhoods.



Funnier still is the big government nanny-state mentality displayed here:

quote:
“So we might want to put some controls on certain products if we find they are tied to greater risk. But how they are marketed and priced is critical information and that has been very hard to study.


I don't think "marketing" is causing all the injuries that are resulting in ER visits (if not morgue visits).

Yeah, and the Broom Pilot told me today that I couldn't assume that a family in an accident where six of them died were probably not using seat belts or car seats.

Ocho Loko damn near killed me in south padre one spring break.

And it got another buddy so drunk he was trying to make love to a tree. He kept begging it to take its clothes off as he stripped off the bark. With his pants around his ankles.

This is why I only drink Old English and Beast Ice when I drink malt liquor.

I heard this on the Bobby Bones show this morning.

My first thought: "Increased ice cream sales leads to an increase in drownings"

I would imagine most of the Budweiser ER stories went like this "Yeah we were just sitting on the couch drinking a Bud when the damn floor of the trailer house fell in" -or-
"I was just sitting on the front porch drinking a Budweiser when my sister-wife tried to shoot a squirrel and hit me"
