Bud Light's social media accounts are being slammed with abuse after resuming regular posting since Dylan Mulvaney backlash: 'I'd rather drink urine'

Bud Light critics are flocking to slam the beleaguered beer brand with abuse as it resumes regular posting following a hiatus amid the Dylan Mulvaney fallout.

The beer label has been struggling since its April partnership with the 26-year-old transgender influencer sparked a decline in sales, costing its parent company Anheuser-Busch around $22 billion in market cap to date.

Bud Light's social media teams retreated into the shadows in mid-April following the backlash and the beer giant disavowed the disastrous campaign.

More than two months later - from June 22 - the brand cautiously resumed posting notably more politically neutral and often faceless adverts on its social media accounts.

Its posts include pictures of Bud Light cans in cooler boxes glistening with water droplets and a photograph of a man's arm carrying a Bud Light bottle with part of his body visible in front of a bright blue sky.

This week, it shared a photograph of two women in shorts and sandals heading to the beach while carrying a 24-can crate of Bud Light on Twitter alongside the caption 'Summer Sunday made easy'.

Critics of the brand were quick to slam the ad, noting how the face of the foremost woman in the advert is obscured by the camera angle, while her outstretched arm hides the identity of her friend.

'I’d rather drink urine,' decried one person, while another said: 'Nice try'.

Speaking about the actors, one person said: 'Completely understandable that they'd hide their faces from the shame of it all.'

Another shared the same sentiment followed by three American flag emojis, adding: 'Once again, no faces…. This should tell you something! And still Nope!!!'

What I don’t understand are the people who willingly drank Bud Light in the past.

“I’d rather drink urine.”

My palate isn’t that refined to differentiate between Bud Light and urine.

I’m surprised they don’t feature a urine fetish guy on a can! “Love is love” after all.

‘I’d rather drink urine’

But if you are drinking that beer, you are drinking urine .... Clydesdale urine

I thought everyone knew that ... it’s been an inside joke for years.

I was thinking, probably not really much difference between the two. But i am not a partaker of either so, speculation on my part.

'I’d rather drink urine

Well then, the joke’s on you, cause if you were drinking Bud Light, you already WERE drinking urine, and tranny urine to boot.

There are a lot of people looking for “cheap” and “lower calorie” beer. I never found the appeal, but some just don’t have the money to spend on more expensive beers.

Budweiser really caught the whirlwind on this deal, I would love to see the progression from the first day on, of the conversations among their executives.

Instead of urine I used “clydesdale wizz” on their twitter.

A lot of people drink beer all day long, 12 to 24 of them, every day, that gets expensive, and a good German Altbier doesn’t go down as quickly and as easily as a cold, carbonated light beer.

My late grandfather and WW1 vet (1890 - 1978) would always refer to Budweiser as “horse p!ss”. Can only imagine what he would have thought of Bud Light.

Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No, but I do it anyway because it’s sterile and I like the taste.

People drink urine to get the BudLight taste out of their mouth.

There’s a Beltway Kunkle club that does just that. Drinks urine.

I mostly drink water all day.

And when I’m in the mood for a beer, I’ll drink a robust dark ale.
