Bud light, that drink that can make you feel happy, sad, confused, and more than likely some other things. Sometimes, people like the feeling of having fun and maybe drinking a little too much Bud Light even though it may cause them to get in trouble. There are those who can have one drink and those that can have several but then they have little control of there emotions. For each person Bud Light may have a different affect it can depend on weight, if you have ate anything in the last few hours, how frequently you drink beer, and if you are on any medications. Bud light has been around for many years, since long before I was ever born. Anheuser-Busch is the company that produces Bud Light. Anheuser-Busch traces its origins back to the Bavarian brewery, which was established in 1852. In 1860, Eberhard Anheuser acquires Bavarian Brewery and renames it E. Anheuser & Co. Eberhand had a daughter named Lilly and in 1861 she married Adolphus Busch. After three years of marriage Adolphus began working at his father-in-law’s brewery. In 1876 the beer Budweiser was introduced. Nineteen years later since the first name change and another name change was made yet again to become Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association. In 1880, Eberhand Anheuser dies and Aldophus Busch becomes president of the brewery. The first artificial refrigeration was used at the brewery in 1881. The beer Michelob was introduced in 1896. By 1901, there were one million barrels of beer being produced annually. Once Adolphus Busch dies August A. Busch Sr. becomes president and only twenty one years after August being president he dies and Adolphus Busch III becomes president. In 1936 Budweiser was sold in cans for the very first time. Two years after Adolphus the III was president Budweiser was sold in cans. August A. Busch, Jr. becomes president in 1946 and in 1950 there was a groundbreaking for first regional brewery in Newark, N.J. By 1964 there were ten million barrels of beer produced annually. Bud Light was introduced and the “Know When to Say When” campaign was started. Anheuser-Busch breaks billion-barrel mark of beer brewed since founding of company in 1986. By 2003 Bud Light became the best selling beer in the United states. Bud Light expands and in 2008 Bud light Lime was introduced. As you can tell, Bud Light has came from many years of learning and a brewery that has experienced for more than a hundred and fifty eight years. However, Bud Light has not always been a good thing. In 1933, all states made a legal minimum consumption or purchasing law and most states made it twenty one. From the 1930’s and throughout the 1960’s the issue received little public attention. In 1974,all fifty states had lowered their voting age from twenty one to eighteen. As a result, between 1970 and 1975 most states started lowering their drinking age to eighteen or nineteen. By mid 1970’s studies began to show more young drivers being involved in traffic accidents right after the lowering of the drinking age. Maine became the first state to decide to re-up the drinking age back to twenty in 1977 and several states soon followed. Organized citizen-action groups such as “remove intoxicated drivers” and “mothers against drunk driving” helped push every other state who had not made their drinking age twenty one to do so and they did by 1988. Although the legal drinking age is twenty one, details in regard to purchase, possession, consumption, sales, and furnishing or alcohol to minors vary from state to state.
