    • When they are put in a position where their options are limited; where their choices for the night are to become a BMC drinker or to remain sober (e.g. badly organized BBQ, cheap work event, etc…)

    • Where the only decent tap has kicked and where they are too lazy to seek out other options. Thus, suffice for alcohol intake at any cost, regardless of taste profile…AA?

    • Where they suffice for one BMC drink to reminisce of the old days

    • Where one is a professional athlete, whose sponsors are BMC related

    • Where they only drink macro to begin with, and come on this site to bash my elegant thread

    • Etc……

    The answer has nothing to do with who’s the “real” craft beer drinker vs. a middle tier craft beer drinker vs. a lower tier craft beer drinker. One might only divulge in BMC, and yet be considered the “real” craft beer drinker in their own mind…who’s to say such categories even exist?

    For me its when its the only stuff available. Bar, party/function/wedding etc. I won't not drink it because its macro. Give me BMC over sober any day. When you're someone who drinks for the taste and for the intoxication, you do what you have to do.

    If I'm at a deli or store and there's no craft option, I tend to go for cider or malt liquor. If its cheap and of low quality, I find sweeter stuff more enticing. As a matter of fact, I actually like Limearita and Strawberrita but I don't buy it often.

    A month ago I was at an engagement party and after having my fill of vodka and sangria, I began drinking Coors Light and Corona. For the most part, I don't find most BMC beers offensive or bad tasting. They're just bland.

    This. When I'm in the Outer Banks this summer I'm sure I'll down a few Coronas with a lime. Just because it will be the easiest thing to hand when I want a beer.

    I drink beer and don't really feel the need to justify what kind or why.

    Doesn’t have to be if you don't want it to be. :-)

    You'll have a fridge and there's more than one place on those islands where there is reasonable beer to drink with a meal or to put in your fridge.

    You are all a bunch of traitors. How dare you drink something that isn't craft beer. I shall report you all to the King for immediate beheading. I drank a Natty Ice last weekend..... shit.

    When threatened with a hot lead enema if I don't drink a BMC. If the place is out of craft beer, I'll drink bourbon, scotch, rye, Irish whiskey or gin. If they're out of craft beer and don't have any of that, then I am in the wrong place.

    I think that you have to determine your definitions.
    If I have one Budweiser because that's what my host offers me, does that make me a BMC drinker? Does it have to be a regular occurance that I buy and drink it?
    I would think one drink does not a BMC drinker make.
    To me, a BMC drinker is one that his (her) primary brand is one of them (including Corona, etc) even if that person will sometimes have and enjoy a craft beer. In that case, I know one person who has gone from craft or mostly so, to drinking Bud Light Draft.

    If I want to drink a beer and my only options are BMC, I'll drink that over nothing. Also if I'm at someone else's house and thats what I am offered, I'm going to drink it. No need to be rude about it.
