Budweiser is most popular beer among injured ER patients, pilot study says

Many people who end their Friday or Saturday nights in a hospital emergency room have been drinking alcohol. In fact, public health experts estimate that about one-third of all injury-related ER visits involved alcohol consumption.

But what, exactly, are people drinking? What types of alcohol and even what brands? Is there a direct link between advertising and marketing and later injury?

Until now, those questions have been unanswerable, frustrating alcohol epidemiology researchers. But if results of a pilot study conducted by researchers from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health hold up, there may soon be a way to connect the dots.

When the Hopkins researchers surveyed ER patients who’d been drinking, they found that Budweiser was the number one brand consumed, followed Steel Reserve Malt Liquor, Colt 45 malt liquor, Bud Ice (another malt liquor), Bud Light, and a discount-priced vodka called Barton’s.

Though Budweiser has 9.1 percent of the national beer market, it represented 15 percent of the of the E.R. “market.” The disparity was even more pronounced for Steel Reserve. It has only .8 percent of the market nationally, but accounted for 14.7 percent of the E.R. market. In all, Steel Reserve, Colt 45, Bud Ice, and another malt liquor, King Cobra, account for only 2.4 percent of the U.S. beer market, but accounted for 46 percent of the beer consumed by E.R. patients.

Had to look up Steel Reserve malt liquor that was #2 on the list. That could only be sold in liquor stores and hot in Oklahoma. 8.1 alcohol can't be sold cold ready to drink everywhere, only 3.2% alcohol. 3.2% is considered a non intoxicating beverage..figure that one out. o_O
 
There are always a lot of NASCAR beer aficionados hiding behind their keyboards on forums all over the internet. The truth is in the stands after the event. You'll be hard pressed to find anything other than the cheapest/most popular of beers being consumed by the average NASCAR fan. Nobody's fooling anyone on here. ;)

Even at the track, I will not drink Bud products. I will drink Coors Light however. And actually, I rarely drink at the race track anyway. It just blows my mind when I see these falling down drunks at the race track, spending half their time in the bathroom, and the other half drunk off their asses, missing the racing action.

Coors Light, Bud Light, pretty much on the same level as far as my beer scale goes. Drunks @ the track, or anywhere for that matter, is a bad deal. I drink my share but I do it responsibly.

Coor's Light is delicious water. :) Same for me though - I can't remember the last time I had an alcoholic beverage at a racetrack.

Not drinking Bud (or Bud products) is more of a principle thing for me. But of the cheap, mainstrem beers, I have always found Coors light more palatable.

That's an old old joke that started about Falstaff beer back during the stone age.
 
Another point to ponder is if any one craft beer was that good it wouldn't be a "craft" beer it would be a mainstream beer, and don't give me the "they want to stay small for the quality" bullsh!t, if they could grow they would just like Sam Adams has been growing and continues to grow. After all the most interesting man in the world drinks Dos Equis.

How do you know, how many Falstaff's have you had the pleasure of drinking?

Believe me, I've tasted Fallstaff and worse. Olympia anyone? Crappy beer is crappy beer, and I find Budweiser to be crappy beer.

Bud has to be one of the worst beers that I have ever tasted! It is just the advertising that makes it appealing. I haven't drank a Bud in 25 years and won't even when offered on for free.....lol!

Actually, that's not a completely true statement. Thanks to Bud's relentless (and obviously very successful) as marketing campaigns, along with their very questionable distribution tactics, so, so many of the smaller brews don't stand a chance. Bud is very successful at telling you what beer you should drink, and very successful at keeping those other beers off the shelves, or at least in the back or on the bottom shelves.

You go on and keep enjoying the beer that Budweiser tells you to like, and I'll keep avoiding it like the plague and drinking what actually tastes like beer.

That is your opinion and you are entitled to it but in my opinion you are wrong. I drink and eat what I like.

 
I'm a simple jort wearing, croc sporting type of guy. I'm so out of touch with those who have the tastes for the finer things in life. I'm one of those average guys that enjoys the cheaper beers I guess. Occasionally, I'll treat myself when I'm out on the town and want to try something new but when I stop at the local beer distributor it continues to be Bud Light for me. And if I really want to impress my friends, I buy bottles. :D

I spend too much money on tickets and lodging to not remember the race.

I just don't get it. If you're just going to get polluted, you could've stayed home, saved the price of the ticket and the hassle of traffic, and left the highway safer for the rest of it.

Last time I looked, Canada was still in North America. It's not the word 'American' that's debatable, it's the word 'Great'. But what do I know; I'm a cider drinker. Woodchuck, Angry Orchard.

When I go that route, it's Yuengling. Coors light will do in a pinch, but I absolutely refuse to drink Budweiser of Budweiser products. See post #33 above.
