Bud Light
The latest on Bud Light. A product of Anheuser-Busch brewing company, Bud Light is Budweiser's flagship low-calorie alcoholic beverage. Launched in 1982, Bud Light is one of the most popular light beers in the United States. Anheuser-Busch came under scrutiny in 2023 after the company collaborated with social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Opponents of Mulvaney and transgender rights called for a boycott of the company and their related products.
