Budweiser Has Been Sued 3 Times for Watering Down All Those Watery Beers - Business - The Atlantic Wire
The last thing anyone wants when he gets home from a day's work is a watered down beer. You want to settle down with a nice, crisp cold one to let off some steam. But three separate lawsuits filed in Philadelphia, New Jersey, and San Francisco contend AB InBev's Anheuser-Busch Cos. add extra water to their finished product — 11 brands in all — to stretch the quantity of alcohol the company can supply, Bloomberg's Sophia Pearson reports. So, the beers are being sold at a lower alcohol content than advertised, which are the main thrust of the lawsuits, each of which seek damages over $5 million.

    Here's another one for ya. Turn out the lights and see if you glow in the dark after drinking a Coors. I lived on that "fresh mountain stream" for several years - used to go panning with coffee for breakfast. That mountain stream is loaded to the hilt with mining chemicals. Cheers.

    Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
    So that blind people can hate them as well.

    Telling me Bud is watered down is like telling me milk comes from cows.

    Hate to break it to you. ALL beer is watered down! That IS what they use to provide moisture to the culture, and mix the grains, etc... If they didn't use it, it would be a dry mess with no discernible alcohol content! GRANTED, they may add water later, but I'm sure it is some standard to get the taste or alcohol content to where it is what they want.

    At least with WINE, they generally start with JUICE. It is STILL mostly water, but comes from the juice without them adding any.

    I think everyone has known this since they've tried anything else but domestic beers.

    Just thought I'd toss this in - because a lot of the time you are buying Bud at a stadium - or another watered down beer...

    The average cost of a small draft beer at NBA games this season is $7.08. That is up 1.7% from last season ($6.96). For comparison, the average beer in the NFL is $7.28, in Major League Baseball it is $6.10, and in the NHL the average beer is $7.07.
    The most expensive beers in the NBA can be found in New York and Phoenix where the Knicks and Suns charge their fans $9.00 per beer. The San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder have the cheapest beers ($5.00).
    Here is a look at how much a small draft beer costs at each ballpark in the NBA.

    Back when I was a drinker, I drank my whiskey straight and had the opinion all beer was watered down booze.
