Why on earth would anyone in their right mind drink Bud Light? Personally, I like Kilkenny alot, or basically any Czech beer like Gambrinus is taasty.
I have an answer for your question my friend! Brace yourself for this will surely blow your mind.
The reason someone would drink bud light, is the same reason someone would drink any other beverage.....because they like the taste! Yes, I swear it is true!
When I drink or eat something, I automatically know if I like it. I don't need to read a review in the paper or check out the internet to see if I like it, I just know right away.
Personally, as a man with quite a few years experience drinking, I'll stick with Budweiser. I like the taste and its not too expensive. If I want to spend a bit more I go with Heineken, man my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
But my favorite drink of all, which is a relatively recent development, is Sailor Jerry spiced rum. I never figured myself for a rum drinker as in my very early drinking days I was quite fond of bourbon, but one day my brother bought me a bottle of Sailor Jerry spiced rum for my birthday and that was that. Now I always have a bottle in the house just in case I feel like having a drink.

Stone Brewery... ARROGANT BASTARD ALE.. very good.
If you like Aroogant Bastard you should look for Rogue Dead Guy ale. It will probably be pretty spendy, not something you drink every day, but it is really fucking good.

At first I wanted to rant about people posting that sweet as shit stuff in a beer thread - then I realized other people might drink another kind of alcohol besides beer 
Current favourite: Karlovačko (from Croatia) - its my holiday-beer...maybe thats why

But In general its german & austrian beer for me though - taste/availability/price

This is a man of my tastes. Just too bad that Absolut is (ironically) so fucking expensive in Sweden. Fuck this country when it comes to alcohol prices.
But yeah, pretty much every drink containing vodka, especially when it comes to getting drunk. Otherwise I prefer cider over beer and wine, Somersby is a favorite but I like fruit so most are fine for me. Can't stand Jägermeister (too sweet), but I drink most everything else. I've also been meaning to go to a proper Tequila bar for a while now, there is a good one in my city, but I haven't gotten around to it.

I am a huge fan of anything from Alaskan Brewery, especially the Alaskan Amber. But my favorite is Weihenstephaner Original Lager. Everything else they make is very solid too.
Weihenstephaner is great. A slightly sweet taste.
For beers, I like the occasional Blue Moon. Shock top is also nice.
For stronger stuff, I like straight scotch, whiskey, or soju. If I want sweeter things, I go for amaretto, Godiva, Hpnotiq, or whiskey sour.
Sipping wine during gaming sessions is pretty solid too.

This thing is like the best beer I can imagine. Tiny brewery in denmark making delicious as fuck beers that have a damn deep flavour but are enjoyable on any occassion. And I'm not always great with any sort of beer, these however I can down any time, any day anywhere.

I've enjoyed the blue moon beers they taste great. shocktop i never bought anymore beyond the 6pack i had. I have an issue with pieces of stuff floating around that i can see. unfilitered beers should stick to dark glass, it turns many people off.

It's all marketing that gives them a 'premium' label here. They're about .50/bottle over there. Look for local alternatives, you'll find blondes just as smooth, with a much smaller price tag. Great breweries are dotted all over North America, and most have sampler packs that include a few different styles. You might run into beers that are a little bitter, sour, dark, etc. for your taste... power through it. Most quality beers' flavour will alter as they warm up a little, and the last few sips always taste different than the first. I've had many beers that I didn't like at the first sip, and ended up loving by the end. Appreciate the diversity!
Agreed. When my buddies came back from europe they say that heineken was the cheap beer there (although it is still WAY better and has little skunk taste in europe). I live in Vancouver and the local brewery "granville island brewery" is amazing. Winter ale, honey lager, all of them are good.
to the OP, if you try more beers I highly doubt you will still have Bud Light as your favourite (not trying to be an alcohol snob lol)

I live in Vancouver as well.
Granville Island isn't bad, but they're kinda lax when it comes to QC. Doesn't help that they've been bought out by Molson/Coors now as well :/
Try some Driftwood beers. They're over in Victoria, but most local beer shops should have em, and some provincial liquor stores carry them. A non-intimidating start is their Farmhand Ale. Very smooth, while being quite complex and perfect for hot days. It really highlights the quality of the ingredients used compared to mass-produced mashes. I've yet to run in to anyone (even non beer drinkers) that didn't enjoy the taste.

Of course! Especially when the cheap blondes generally taste similar (or better, if you find a gem) to the big brands.
A good Old Style Pilsner (Molson) or Cariboo (their draft, honey and cream are all quite tasty, havent tried the pale yet) are great for more casual drinking. At 8 bucks a 6-pack, it's hard to go wrong (For those outside Canada, our booze is taxed to hell... $8/6 is about as cheap as it gets  )

I drink Jim Beam and coke, or Vodka lemonade/coke.
|
You made me miss German beers so much. Pilsner and Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier is the beer of gods!
|
It winter here so I am off the beer at the moment. I gotta agree with the above poster, Aussie micro beers are the shit!
My current drop is a personally imported pinotage from SA. I only have three bottles so they are being slowly enjoyed.
I wish we got Pinotage in Aus, nobody seems to grow the stuff which is really bad because it is such a smooth drinking red.

Drink it straight. It is so delicious.
The best craft beer I've had though would probably Heavy Seas Loose Cannon or Heavy Seas Greater Great Pumpkin. All non-craft beers are beer pong fuel, in my opinion.
