I'd say the execution leaves something to be desired. The text in particular looks not-good.

That's the main problem yeah. Like yeah it got a chuckle out of me, but if you showed it to me in 2 years I'd have a hard time remembering what the hell it is

Mike's hard lemonade still is around apparently. That was huge when I was like 18 and illegal drinking, and I've been legal drinking for over a decade and a half.

It's nasty too, give me a Mike's or a Smirnoff smash if I'm drinking fruity gas station stuff, those are at least strong. My friend likes them, I have no idea why

There�s a dive bar downtown that lost its toilet tank lid. They replaced it with a portion of a White Claw box.

White Claw or similar probably won't go anywhere, but popularity may wane. It's low carb, so people dieting like it, and since it's a fermented beverage, it avoids a bunch of taxes that distilled drinks get hit with.

I'll never understand "low calorie" alcoholic drinks. That means they're less alcoholic; the calories come from the booze itself :negative:

Yeah, if anything the boom will fade, but it'll still be around like Mike's Hard Lemonade :barf:

This is technically true, but not everyone is trying to hammered as efficiently as possible, and if you're dieting, you're eating lower quantities of food, so you'll absorb the alcohol faster, anyway. It's not like people won't spend all day drinking low-ABV light beers or session ales. Never mind that by removing the other stuff in the drink, you can have a higher alcohol content at a similar amount of calories.

To give a comparison: a Bud Lite is 4.3% alcohol and 110 calories, while a White Claw is 5% and 100 and is arguably better tasting.

Yeah, but then a regular soft drink like Coke or Dr Pepper is 140-150 per can and a diet soda is 0. Especially for someone with a high alcohol tolerance like myself, I'd have to drink enough of these low-alcohol cans to actually get drunk that I wouldn't be saving calories compared to going completely non-alcoholic.

If you're not trying to get drunk, why bother drinking the alcoholic version at all? I can't get drunk off two Bud Lights or White Claws, so drinking them ends up being pointless because neither taste good enough to justify it. Also you can't try to get a rebuttal in and then say not to talk about it.

Sure I can! But fine I'll add my thoughts.

People drink barely alcoholic things because the bit of booze is a different taste than non alch and that's sometimes nice. White claw tastes fine to me and sometimes I don't want a full beer, or the fridge at work is full of IPAs and sugar soda.

This conversation is meaningless - there are products you dont want because capitalism demands it

Good marketing that makes people think its popularity is actually organic, when in reality it was planned to every minute detail.

Someone left some in my fridge a few months ago before the 'popularity', and its just a regular rear end drink that has nothing special about it whatsoever. Yet every MC at a hiphop event I was at the other week couldn't help but rap about it on the mic.
