Alright, we all love a good cheap beer. Honestly, I would say none do more than I right now. I'm fresh out of school and about to head right back to it. I cannot state enough times how badly I'm balling on a budget. However, there is a hierarchy to cheap beers, and let me tell you, Bud Light is not high up that list.

The Worst Beer Of The Worst Beers?
That's probably a harsh subheader. But it's kind of what the experts are saying. Actually, it's what both the experts and non-experts are saying. So I guess that's everybody.
On Beer Advocate, which is my go-to for figuring out the best beers, its rating is abysmal. Bud Light has a score of 47 out of 100, which puts it firmly in the awful category on the site.
And this isn't from 10 'experts' who only like IPAs. This is from almost 7,000 different raters. That's a lot of people saying this is not the beer to drink.
One of my favorite reviews on the site reads, "Heavenly if you are desperately dehydrated after an hour of intense paddling a flat-bottom boat. Otherwise undrinkable!" I just find the image of a man parched for thirst reaching for a Bud Light and getting tricked into thinking it's delicious hilarious. I bet he would have found gasoline to be delicious after that sort of activity.
Not Just The Experts
As promised, the beer snobs out there are not the only ones telling you to drink literally any other beer when you're looking to be cost-effective.
Even the people who are just trolling on Reddit aren't fans. And trust me, there are fans of everything on that platform. (Except I guess for Bud Light).
I mean, just look at some of these hilarious reviews from average beer enjoyers. One person called it "Water with extra steps." Which is uncomfortably true.
Honestly, it might be the best beer to enjoy when it's ice cold and you're done with yard work. But if I come over to your house for a beer and you hand me a Bud? Well, I don't know how many more times I'm coming over to your house for a beer.
