It turns out that people in Cambridge and Somerville drink Bud Light just like everybody else, only, unlike in certain redder parts of the country, they are refusing to boycott the beer-like liquid, Cambridge Day reports. In fact, the news site quotes a worker at one local liquor mart who, on hearing a customer muse enthusiastically about the boycott, told him to move along.

I haven't drunk a Bud Light in years, and I feel OK about that. But to show support maybe I'll buy a six-pack, I could always water my houseplants with it.

Bud Light is to beer as Kid Rock is to music. Not sure why the angry white men's first response to anything they don't like is to buy a bunch of it then shoot it full of holes with assault weapons and machine guns. Ever see what they did to all those (VERY expensive) Yeti coolers? In-Fan-Tile!

Inasmuch as Bud Light is not actually a beer but the rinsings from a pot of rice sold as a beer, and Kid Rock is not actually a hick but actually a dumb rich kid cosplaying as a hick, I find that the analogy stands and sentence Mr. Rock to 20 years of listening to his own music while drinking Bud Light.

To quote the unnamed worker, "The customer was this big", said while holding his hand 2 feet apart and slowly opening them wider.

I've been "boycotting" Bud Light since I graduated high school 30 years ago.. I've always assumed that as soon as people try another brand of beer, they do the same!

While the circumstances surrounding this boycott are almost unbelievably stupid (I say "almost" because, you know, we live in America in 2023), I think we should take just a moment to recognize the sheer poetry of "beer-like liquid."
So actually, one of the earliest tenants in my rental property once asked me if I would do him a favor and go with him to get a keg - to have a party in the apartment, mind you - because I had a car (which was required for the keg purchase). Being a genial landlord, I complied (they weren't planning on a rager but more of a weekend of festivities with a smaller number of people). His choice: Bud Light. I was going to spring for the extra cost for something more palatable but the prices were kind of insane, and besides that's what they wanted. We hauled the thing up the stairs and worked up a heavy thirst doing it. Upon tapping, he offered me some off the top. I will say, speaking strictly as a beverage, a cool frosty thing to quench a thirst, one could have done worse.
As a beer, though: no.
You know the one...

I first heard this joke from Monty Python, but they applied it, more inclusively, to "American Beer". Edit: (Oops, just saw Neal's earlier comment also citing "American Beer". I will save my comment for the Monty Python reference).
I first heard that joke from a German friend

But the joke she asked was "Why is drinking American beer like having sex in a canoe". I think the joke's origins might be from the pre-craft beer revolution that happened as a result of beer being deregulated during the Carter Administration.

So I guess spies are now using the UHub comment section to pass secret messages in plain sight. Fine by me for the record.
Boycott, Eh?

Perhaps the people of Cambridge and Somerville are smart enough to know that if you're a Bud Light drinker, whatever alternative beer you select is probably owned by the same company. (!)
Do these people boycotting know that Bud Light is owned by AB InBev, a Belgium conglomerate that has hundreds of other brands? They own a majority of the major market brands at most liquor stores.
Of course, the current #1 selling beer brand in America is from Mexico. You know, that country all Bud Light boycotters want to wall off.
