    Here is the key sentence in the article.

    …an acceleration in the long-term decline of so-called domestic-premium brands, which include Bud Light and rivals Miller Light and Coors Light…

    So, are people drinking less beer or are they drinking less piss beer? Could it be that people are having two Hazy Imperial IPA’s with 8+ ABV instead of a six pack of Coors Light? I am taking this headline with a grain of salt.

    EDIT: I found my glasses.

      Article has a vague accusation that soda-based drinks are to blame without covering any of the other possibilities here

      I’m more of a once a week Porter, Ale and Hard Cider drinker, but it’s still a Microbrew.

      Grain a salt is right: People just don’t like the taste of that crap anymore, not with so many options on the market now.

      Coors/Bud/MGD/Corona? I haven’t had one in years.

      A Four Noses or Cerebrus Hazy is so much better than the domestic swill it’s not funny. We have so many more options these days that I’m glad it’s hurting the big guys. They’ve been making crap pilsners for decades.
