My dad pretty much only drinks Bud Light, so I've drank an ass-load of that. My FIL drinks Busch Light and Black Velvet. Drank a ton of that as well. They're all perfectly fine for what they're suited to do. Getting you drunk. I'll be the first to admit that when I'm outside in the summer, I almost always want a Bud Light Lime canned. Especially if I'm on the water or golfing where you can't have glass. Don't know why, but it works for those long summer sessions particularly well.
I've made the mistake of offering my dad and FIL Blvd. products before. After 30 years of drinking one brand of beer, you can imagine how well that went over. I usually keep an Anhueser product in the fridge in case they stop by. And I don't bother mixing my FIL a whiskey and coke with my Bulleit or Bourbon Trace, so I keep Jim Beam on hand. It's cheap and I like it as well.
There's a fair amount of beer snobbery on this board. And whiskey snobbery. And wine snobbery. And food snobbery. And the list goes on. That's just CP. We like to argue about why our opinion on 'x' is more valid and enlightened than the next guy.
