Budweiser is most popular beer among injured ER patients

[koalabear]

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.

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.

That's fascinating but it causes more questions than it answers. What are the other salient characteristics of the ER victim population that correspond with a love of watery american lager?

Low IQ. Let's face it, you have to be fucking dumb to drink Bud.

I am the exception that proves the rule then because I drink Bud exclusively when I drink beer. I can't stand that brown melted bread stuff that beer snobs prefer.

I used to like you.

Nothing like coming into the local from a day's hot work and choking down a body-temperature, viscous grain slurry with enough vitamins and minerals to kill a horse.

No, give me a cold, refreshing, watery, american beverage.
