Belch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, who needs a ride?

How’d I become the DD?

I don’t even like caffeinated alcoholic beverages!

Or Buttweiser for that matter.

I just figured, if they required Buttweiser to stop selling beer with alcohol, they’d hit others as well.

nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest(CSPI

1) people with too much time on their hands, 2) people who want to control everyone to their way of thinking, 3) nonprofit, yeah right, I bet the government gives them hard earned public monies, 4) the public has no interest in this organization, and 5) when people like this will leave us alone, this country will be in better shape.

I get your drift.

Bud is not real beer. The notion that it is real beer was created by a Billion dollar ad campaign and well paid attorneys that sued the German city of Budweis for the right to use the name..

You got that right

1) Non-profit doesn’t mean that there are no profits or millions to be made
2)These people are control freaks
3) They will never leave anyone alone

Ginseng doesn’t have caffeine in it. Why are they removing that?

I've had these a couple of times. Not the tastiest or most pleasant drink I've ever had.

Even still, I'd rather keep the choice to drink them than allow some busybody fascist "Public Interest" to make a permanent decision for me.

Didn't Drew Carey and his friends originate that as "Buzz Beer"?

A & B should have told these vultures to go pound cement. Now they’re going to keep at them with more ridiculous assertions.

...that the liberal nanny-state pantywaists are evidently tougher than the corporate pantywaists who always seem to throw their customers under the bus at the slightest threat from some non-involved third party.

The move comes as part of agreements reached with the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest(CSPI), which in February threatened to file suit against the company over the drinks, and a group of 11 state Attorneys General, which has separately been investigating the company.

I really hate these people.

Ya know, pretty soon, with these “moral busybodies” running loose, we will all be drinking 3-2 beer and eating food that tastes like what they serve at the local Old Folks’ Home.

So, why didn’t A-B tell CSPI to pound sand? They could have alerted their customer base to what was going on and urged them to gang up on the nannies with email, phone calls and letters, telling them to stay off everyone’s backs. That would have made a big splash.

Center for Science in the public interest = Tax payer funded anti-American, anti-capitalist, socialist extortion ring.

I’m going to go buy some Sparks now and support Miller Brewing company. Hopefully they will tell these parasites to drop dead.

I think a big corp like Miller might consider playing hardball with groups like this. They could hire a whole team of PI’s to investigate everyone associated with this group. Where there’s leftist America haters, theres dirt to be found, gauranteed.
