Bud Light distributor says that the brand's sales are not going to recover, ever.
A distributor of Bud Light said he believes the brand will not recover from the fall in sales following the conservative boycott over its partnership with a transgender influencer.
"Consumers have made a choice," a Texas-based beer distributor told the New York Post. "They have left [Bud Light] and that's how it's going to be. I don't envision a big percentage of them coming back."
Distributors are focusing on other brands as they're worried that those who boycotted Bud Light have settled on other, similar beers.
"There is an increasing feeling that this [Bud Light] decline rate could last for a while and the distributors are worried about losing those drinkers to other similar brands," David Steinmann, executive editor at Beer Marketer's Insights, told the Post.

Parent company Anheuser-Busch this month announced it is laying off hundreds of employees in the United States.
People who are not being laid off include A-B's CEO who has ultimate responsibility here, the CEO in charge of marketing, and the vice president of marketing specifically for Bud Light. The one who actually commissioned the partnership with Dylan Mulvaney. The latter two are still on paid leave of absence, and the CEO pretends this has nothing to do with him and tells us we should feel bad for the employees we're making him fire. He isn't willing to give up his own job to try to save theirs, though.
Why should he? He's among the uncountable Unaccountable Elite who are destroying this country while sucking every red penny out of it.
They allege that this opinion means that the social worker "might" misgender a trans person, and therefore may no longer work in her chosen field.
A social worker with 25 years experience has been told she cannot apply for more work after she questioned whether transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney was the right person to model sports bras for Nike.
Mother of two Louise Chivers, 52, has been told she cannot apply for social services jobs pending an investigation after a manager at Leicestershire County Council suggested there was a risk she "might misgender someone".
It came after she described Mulvaney, who identifies as female, as "a skinny gay man with no t-ts" and accused the TikTok influencer of being a "misogynist who mocks women" during a recent training day.
She has now been referred to Social Work England, the body that regulates social workers, and the company that recruited her has launched an investigation.
Politifact won't be blacklisted in the UK -- they published a "fact" check in which they claim that "chestfeeding" by "men" completely normal and natural. "Experts" in transgenderism say so!
There are two kinds of "chestfeeding." One is by men who just seem to get off on having babies nibble on their nipples.
The other is by women who claim to be "men." I guess they don't want to admit they have breasts so breastfeeding is euphemized to "chestfeeding."
Unfortunately, trans women claiming to be "men" take a lot of male hormones which tends to stop any milk production.
So we're on to the next course of experimental Vanity Medications so that women taking high dosages of testosterone may nevertheless attempt to produce milk.
Grace Abels, "a staff writer focused on LGBTQ issues," for PolitiFact came out with an explainer piece on Friday that sought to defend the practice of "chestfeeding" for "people who identify as men or as nonbinary." Seriously, this is a fact-checking outlet.
Naturally, the piece originated due to the fact that "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has frequently faced political criticism. But a new wave hit in early July over breastfeeding -- or 'chestfeeding,' as the agency described it on a website."
After referencing a couple of tweets, Abels also mentioned "U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., a former OB-GYN, condemned the CDC's language and expressed concern over medications that may be taken to induce lactation."
Abels then stepped in to attempt to save the day, "Some of the claims misrepresented what chestfeeding is, how the term is used and raised fears over medications involved in induced lactation."
Seeking to explain, Abels nonsensically wrote:
Chestfeeding is a gender-neutral term used by some transgender and nonbinary dads when nursing their newborns.Most people who are assigned female at birth, including people who identify as men or as nonbinary, can get pregnant and have children. Trans men may have to stop taking testosterone to conceive, and are instructed to stay off hormones during pregnancy.
As for the avoidance of the term "breastfeeding," Abels added "The term may cause gender dysphoria, which can exacerbate mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression. Additionally, trans men who have had 'top surgery' may not have breasts."
...
But, is it safe? Rosen-Carole said it was, but "Marshall, the Kansas senator, said he was concerned about the prolactin-promoting medications used to induce lactation and their effect on infants: 'The CDC is encouraging these individuals to use Domperidone, a risky drug not legally approved or sold in the U.S.'"
The CDC told PolitiFact that it "did not endorse using drugs to induce lactation," but Abels added the caveat, "The CDC notes that families may need help from healthcare providers with medication that can be used to induce lactation."
Philadelphia is hosting "FatCon," which is exactly what you think it is.
The contemporary craze for people to be their "authentic selves" is about to reach new levels of absolute absurdity. Three women from Philadelphia have decided to hold FatCon, the first-of-its-kind conference for fat people. Why? To let people know "there are a ton of fat people in Philly who are perfectly fine with who they are," according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The organizers aimed for the conference to be a "judgment-free event focused on creating a community for fat people by fat people, recognizing those who are 'often overlooked because of their size'" and an opportunity to "navigate this fatphobic world and society in a different way." The conference will supposedly feature panels discussing fashion, navigating fatphobia, social media influencing, and a keynote speaker known as "The Fat Sex Therapist."
Because, obviously, fat people need to learn more about social media influencing than about health, exercise, and losing weight. This thing sounds like an indulgent disaster of rotund proportions.
"People just want to be able to be themselves -- that's the dire need for something like Philly FatCon," one of the organizers said.
Disgusting content warning for this one -- what I'm going to guess is a woman taking male hormones -- a so-called "trans man" -- feeds a poor baby from its deformed breast.
A woman who claims to be a man explains why she is pregnant, given that that is "a woman thing to do." She says she's a man, but she must give birth to a child. Seems to be a lot of people cultivating a harmful case of Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy.
