    The Budweiser boycott was effective, insomuch as it did reduce their revenues.

    Likely only temporarily.

    Their NFL boycott likely does nothing but make the stadiums more pleasant to be at.

      The people that “boycotted” Budweiser just switched to different Inbev beers, so their overall sales didn’t dip at all.

        “…the Bud Light boycott had resulted in an estimated 18% drop in all AB InBev sales.” From Wikipedia which sources from CNBC article

        Edit: to be clear I hate that it worked and they were more successful than other boycotts. I wish there was a way to turn that solidarity to more humane actions and protests. But it’s a solidarity built on hate of others.
