    What is it with Americans and bud light anyway. It’s the worst version of the product and yet for some reason it’s really popular in the US.

      It’s common and they were already in place when prohibition ended.

      So after a good chunk of time with all the breweries becoming unavailable, they were fast to start selling and it just became a common brand.

      Having the three key elements to an alcohol consumed for social purposes rather than taste also helped: cheap, available and cheap.

      We’ve got others around, but they’re generally not everywhere.

      I don’t know that I’ve ever heard anyone say they like the taste though. I think the closest I’ve heard is someone saying they like how it’s cold.
