Bud Light

After a successful St. Patrick's Day weekend, I feel it would be most judicious to express my appreciation for a friend that has never let me down during drinking events:

Bud Light.

Bud Light has been there for me throughout my college years and now beyond. When I need a microphone to accompany me during my my metamorphosis from Normal-Allison ----> Ke$ha-Allison, Bud Light is there. When I'm watching any sporting event, Bud Light is always my plus-one. When Journey sneaks its way onto a bar's playlist, Bud Light is always right there next to me--two lifelong friends that won't stop believin'. 

When there's a long day of drinking ahead to celebrate a heritage that I don't identify with, Bud Light is there. When Syracuse Hoops continues to pull through despite the absence of Fab, Bud Light is there. My standard summer outfit of cut-off jorts and faux-bans is never complete without my favorite blue accessory--Bud Light (or Bud Light Lime if I'm feeling a little funky).

Living in the most powerful city of the free world can be a challenge at times, but perhaps the greatest challenge of them all is enjoying a night out without blowing $40 on drinks. You want a vodka soda? You better take out a loan for that. Fancy a vodka redbull? Legend has it that some bars charge $15 per drank. Bud Light would never do you dirty like that. BL is a familiar face on Happy Hour specials lists, sometimes for as little as $3. A round of this trusty brew will carry you through any event without breaking bank.

So here's to you, Bud Light. My confidant, my partner in crime, my beer of choice.
