How much you drinkin' every week, son?
I am interested to know how much beer the average TexAg'er drinks (compared to how much they claim to drink).

If I buy a six-pack (always glass, can't stand canned beer), it takes me a solid two weeks, at best, to get through it. This board makes me think people are downing six-packs every night, lol.
~ 12 light beers a week. I used to be exclusively Budweiser 55 (i know, it's a beer, but it's only 55 calories). Now on Yuengling Flight and 99.
The carbs are more important than the calories, FWIW.
Trump will fix it.

Alcohol consumption is has a terrifying pareto front. Its worse than 80/20, its more like 90/10. Where 90% of the consumption comes from 10% of the total consumer base. There are small percentage of dedicated drinkers who will crush a 12, 18 or 30 rack of cheap beer every night. Absolutely a problem for themselves, not the distributors. Go on reddit and read the stories of people trying to quit drinking. They are insane. People doing so much cheap beer and then switching to a copious amounts of cheap liquor a night.

Harrowing stuff.

6 12packs to consume over a 7 day period would be considered light weight.

I drank like this in college and I have no idea how anyone can do it past 30.

With that said, I've seen the level of alcoholic who drinks like this and it's sad as hell. The addiction is life destroying. The guys would consume a case of tall boys and then drink whiskey until they passed out or buy gallons of cheap whiskey at a time where a handle of whiskey is a slow day. These aren't benders, this is normal every day for them.

One guy was experiencing liver failure and the other guy had the worst shakes I have ever seen. He would last about 3 hours at work before he got violent shakes from withdrawal. Go for a 2 hour lunch and drink the whole time only just to last another 3 hours before 5 when the shakes would get violent again. Both of these guys got fired from their jobs.

At this level they are basically incapable of doing anything and are barely holding on to life.

And that empty hole next to MU is where HEBs stock YF, hence the reason I bought 6 12pks at lunch.

I just went to HEB at lunch to pickup some Yuengling Flight because that's usually when they stock it on Thursdays and Fridays. There was a beer rep there, but his shirt said 'Keg One' iirc, maybe that's who the distributor is. He wasn't stocking YF so I just went to the cooler and put 6 12packs in cart and turned to go checkout. He asked if he could take a pic, I said yes. He and another guy in there are the distributor for Yuengling here. We had a good chat and told him I switched to YF from MU when AB went full trantard. I told them it tastes a lot better so I wouldn't go back to MU even if AB did the right thing.

I asked them how much their sales have increased and their eyes got wide and said they didn't know the percentages but it's been huge. Yuengling is working around the clock to supply the massive increase in demand from stores, bars and restaurants. I suggested Yuengling send AB a thank you card. I told them that me, and a lot of new customers, will stay with them so don't **** it up and get political and that no one should ever go full trantard.

I know dear diary, but y'all know idgaf.


Can't be anymore than 25% as I was told BL sales only dropped by that amount and considering not everyone that switched away from BL went to Yuengling so they probably only increased by 15% at most. Well, unless BL's numbers are completely FOS. That couldn't be the reason...naaaaahhh.


I know at my place, Yuengling was already hurting sales before the DM thing.

Adding Yuengling Flight continues the downward spiral in sales.

Looks like AB still has some learning to do. It is sponsoring more of the madness/perversion.

Bud has been sponsoring pride events for many years. This is their norm.

I am all in for earned diversity. Earned diversity is the only form of DEI that will last. Forced diversity will never achieve the goals that were intended.

Budweiser is also local to St Louis, they probably sponsor all kinds of things over there with deals made months in advance at a minimum.

Does your family not still own liquor stores or did that dissolve? Just random that I remember you being involved in that industry and getting beer from HEB.

I will say that my bud light is as picked over as usual, but North Temple Historic District has a Alphabet Contigent and healthy dose of migrant workers that DGAF.

We still have them but there's not much of a markup for beer to worry about and HEB/WMT/DG etc. has much larger buying power, so I get beer when I shop.

I'm actually surprised that AB hasn't sold their expiring stock to DG and the other dollar stores at a huge discount. They have such a large footprint all over Texas towns that they'd recoup some of their losses. But they didn't ask me about making a trancan either.

The beer colors at DG look exactly like H EB. AB products are full with maybe one pack missing all the others are almost empty.

Went to Red Hot Chili Peppers concert last night at minute maid park.

I guess they have contract with AB? That's mostly what they sold, those brands.

Many people bought Bud Light.

Just talked to a good friend who runs a big golf tournament in west Texas. Every year the local Bud distributor donates a bunch of cases of beer for the tournament. This year the board of directors for the golf course decided they did not want Bud products and refused the donation. The Bud guys were pissed that they had donated for years and the golf board would not help them rebuild their brand.

I would show the Bud guys the examples of how AB isn't really serious about rebuilding their brand. I would then politely let them know that we wouldn't be damaging our brand to help a company that isn't serious about fixing their own.
