😂😭 Kool-aid might be a safe bet in that case 🤔

 

That runs into a different demographic.  We're talking mixes of KoolAid and rotgut vodka, or dirt cheap Faygo soda and rotgut vodka.  The latter is apparently a northern thing, as I've never seen it here. 

 

I don't get the big deal about advertising.  I mean, everybody knows about big brands like Coke and Budweiser.  I can't see how the constant advertising improves their sales.  And for businesses to get into anything controversial, it can't be good for sales.  Like talking religion or politics at Thanksgiving dinner with out-of-town relatives.  😏

marketing is the most important reason they drink the beer they drink. Weird.

I'm not sure what is going on anymore.

People who are or who support LGBT+ people vastly outnumber people who would boycott a beer over this, it's just taking them a while to realize it.

If you could edit posts I would have added 'or people who don't care or don't know about this controversy' to the above

Just to let you know Rhonda if you ever want an edit you can ask a moderator for help.  We do our best especially if it is a difficult or important issue.

I want to believe this.

On certain "news" outlets it seems the whole world is against us.

I avoid lite beer anyway.  I don't plan to switch to it over this silly sh… stuff.
