Bud Lite has been the beer of choice of Florida Rednecks for many years.

Every weekend morning the sides of rural roadways of Florida are covered with a new thrown layer of Bud Lite bottles. I saw this all the time when I used to bicycle a lot. One day one of these knucklewalkers in a pick up threw one at me while I was biking and hit me in the face. At that moment, if I could have caught up with him, I might very well have killed the son of a bitch.

Wasn't the first drive-through liquor store in Florida? Or maybe Tejas.

Plus... younger folks drink hard alcohol rather than beer as they did when I was young.

Several micro spirit distillers right here in town.

One I have got to do a shout out for is Orange Country Distillery.

Everything needed in the spirits is grow in the fields by them in some of the most fetal soil in the world.

Perhaps, as Bourbon has gotten very trendy. That said, all three of my kids are beer and wine geeks (I wonder where they got that). The only use that anyone I know has for macro-swill is to have with piles of spicy steamed crabs. Real beer can sometimes overwhelm the crabs, plus you end of drinking copious quantities of beer when eating crabs and the relatively low ABV of macro-swill is a plus.
