Doesn't BUD get it? This ain't good publicity.

[SpottedBeaver]

I'd fire the man too. Coors is pisswater.

[tgusa]

Hard to blame him.

Better to be drinking Coors off the job, than to drink Bud on the job.

[WV Mountain Mama]

saying he has a right to drink anything he wants in his off-hours. (snip)

And when he is driving the delivery truck, he only drinks Bud!

Boy, Coors s*cks too...I mean it's almost a firing offense just for drinking Coors!!!

[JAWs]

I've heard of being fired with cause, but with COORS? I guess the had to nip it in the BUD! There's no beating around the BUSCH!

[Da_Shrimp]

I'd fire the man too. Coors is pisswater.

So is Bud.

What's the difference between Budweiser and making love in a rowing boat?

Nothing. They're both f****** close to water.

Coors lite at an afternoon party, that your trying to stay sober for, is perfect.

[Raycpa]

You smokers might want to get all worked up about this too.

Better to drink Coors period. Bud is bilge water. Being born and raised in St. Louis, Anheuser Busch must pump their water from the bottom of the Mississippi.

This BUD IS NOT for you!

Generally, you can fire someone for off-duty actions that reflect poorly on your company. It's not a neutral act to publicly use your competitor's products. It's a statement against your products. That's not good for your company and is a reasonable basis for termination. Do you think that anybody who makes Dell laptops could use a Mac without peril?

Coors Light is a good easy-to-drink light beer, but did you know that it actually has a pretty strong alcohol content? Quite a bit higher than other light beers? That's part of the reason it is so popular, from what I've heard.

[SpottedBeaver]

So is Bud.

That is correct!

We used to tell a joke when I lived in Denver. Flush twice, the Coors brewery is uphill from here.

[TXBSAFH]

I feel sorry for this man fired after drinking coors. Talk about a double whammy. The only question is which is worse?

[Pan_Yan]

I know a lot of people who swore off Bud after it started sponsoring the gay right parade every year.

You can guess what they call it now.

[CatoRenasci]

I'd fire the man too. Coors is pisswater.

My sentiments exactly. When I was in Colorado in the 1970s I noticed that in local bars NO ONE drank Coors. It was mostly Bud or Miller. Ask for a Coors and the bartender would look at you funny and say "you're not from around here, are you?"
