New Study Says That Budweiser Most Commonly Linked To ER Injury Patients

[Initech]

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.

When the Hopkins researchers surveyed ER patients who’d been drinking, they found that Budweiser was the number one brand consumed, followed Steel Reserve Malt Liquor, Colt 45 malt liquor, Bud Ice (another malt liquor), Bud Light, and a discount-priced vodka called Barton’s.

1. Shit, I can do that.

Is there a direct link between advertising and marketing and later injury?

No. It's just idiots drinking beer and fucking up.

2. Budweiser - the King of Stupid

That they have narrowed this down to one brand is amazing. I wonder if it is just because it is probably the most consumed (and I don't know why) beer.

I know know why I prefer the finder brews.
