Lefties drink it in far smaller numbers than righties.
Looks like a whole lot less of them these days. Their sales are WAY down, and their stock has cratered as well.
According to data cited by the beverage industry trade publication Beer Business Daily, sales volumes of Bud Light for the week ending May 13 sank 28.4%, extending a downward trend from the 27.7% decline seen the week before.
But, you feel free to enjoy.
The point still holds. It’s not a Volvo-driving hippy beer.

Well I don't drink and the last time I was in Target was probably a year ago, as there are no stores in my general vicinity. I would prefer Meijer anyway given the choice as it's a Michigan-based company, although I do shop at WalMart since it's the big-box store in town and sometimes I just don't want to spend the time and gas money to drive 12 miles to Meijer (call me cheap or lazy). Given the circumstances I guess I don't have a dog in the hunt.

I noticed the quality of merchandise at Target go downhill years ago. The devotion of more square footage to food products seems to have come at the expense of softline products and perhaps sporting goods.

They never have impressive sale prices except around the holidays. Over the counter pharmaceutical products, where they do have some very good regular prices in certain instances, is usually the only reason I'll make a special trip to Target.

At times, I'll notice a lot of empty shelf space at both of my nearest Target stores. They don't seem to manage inventory as well as Meijer.

They are having leadership challenges. Target's rock star CEO tried to enter Canada too quickly, which failed, and was out the door. Since then they have not found their voice.

Well I dunno about Target not doing well. The one closest to me always has a half dozen lanes open with several waiting in each line.
