The market research firm Mindset Media studied the cultural and economic behaviors of beer drinkers and discerned certain trends among buyers of particular beers. Among the brands studied are Budweiser, Bud Light, Corona, Heineken, and Blue Moon. Beth Snyder Bulik wrote about the study in Ad Age. Here's what she wrote about Budweiser drinkers:

True to form, Bud drinkers are sensible, grounded and practical. They are the polar opposite of daydreamers and don't easily get carried away. These beer drinkers also don't like authority—can anyone say union?—and are emotionally steady people who live in the here and now. However, what may be a bit surprising is that people who prefer Bud can also be very spontaneous and tend not to do much advance planning.
Budweiser drinkers are 42% more likely to drive a truck than the average person, 68% more likely to choose a credit card with flexible payment terms and 42% more likely to use breath-freshening strips every day.

My personal list-
1- Guinness Stout the Darker the better as far as I'm concerned... :-D
2- Tripel trappist Westvleteren and other trappists in general for a nice long evening
3- Duvel on a daytime summers-terrace downtown
4- Stout Mede for special occasions
5- And for daily consumption if we do not drink wine with dinner- Palm and Grolsch lager
The rest of my list is about 40 long, so I have something to choose from. But then again- Here in the Benelux-plus-Germany corner of the world, we have plenty of interesting beers to taste. :-D
Beer is just not for me though. I can't stand the taste of it.
But when I do I don't drink beer.
A nice aged scotch, double, neat, thank you.
(Yes, I'm an incredibly snobby beer drinker.)
Seems like a lot of commenters here couldn't understand statistics or probability to save their lives.
Nothing in the article said anything like "all Bud drinkers hate authority", they just noticed a trend the researchers themselves didn't expect to see.
Hahahaha! That's just so bizarre and out of left-field.
It probably doesn't take a psychographic profile to discover that those people who refuse to drink beer at all don't like to loosen up very much. They are socially conservative and see many issues as black and white. Teetotalers honor tradition and authority and prefer a less-hectic social life."
orr,, they care about their health.
i don't understand bud drinkers. have they ever even tasted real beer?
