Nothing like buying Bud Light in bulk…
A couple of years back (around 2021 to be exact), a video unearthed by Reddit shocked the internet. To be clear, you’ve got to present something incredibly shocking to put the internet on its heels. This clip, which shows an apartment completely overtaken by Bud Light bottles, fit the bill.
As the story goes, an evicted tenant had abandoned their unit in Texas, and when the landlord went to check things out… let’s just say the tenant wasn’t going to get their deposit back. Video taken by a cell phone shows Bud Light piled up as far as the eye can see, even reaching as high as the ceiling fans in the apartment.
You quite literally can’t see the floor – or the furniture – of the unit. Everything is covered in empty Bud Light bottles and cases. It’s hard to estimate just how many beers there are in total, but it’s easy to assume that there’s thousands of dollars worth of Bud Light scattered throughout. Seems like the rent money was accidentally funneled into the beer money account, eh?
I know I’m stating the obvious here, but wouldn’t you get tired of beer at some point? I like to crack open a brewski as much as the next guy (or gal), and I still can get a little burnt out. That clarity often comes from the hangover the next morning, though there are even times while I’m throwing back my beer of choice that I say, “Alright, I need to switch things up for a bit.”
And to be transparent, I’m taking a more lighthearted approach to this story. I simply can’t believe that someone could drink – or at the very least purchase – this many Bud Lights. However, the video really showcases the issue that some people have with drinking responsibly. If you are slowly-but-surely filling up the square footage of your apartment with brews and you aren’t planning a party, you most likely have a problem.
Especially if you no longer have a place to sit down in your apartment. Standing and drinking a beer is fine, but plopping down on a couch (or a 31-piece porch set) is the far superior strategy. Clearly whoever lived in this apartment was thinking things through all the way:
Where does the clean up even start? I’d have a panic attack if I was a landlord and walked into that.
Like I said, this video is actually from a couple of years ago, but someone reposted it and injected new life into the legend of the abandoned Bud Light apartment. It had social media users flooding the comments section with replies like these:
“6,894,959 bottles of beer in the wall, 6,894,959 bottles of beer.”
“That was where all their rent money went.”
“Landlord owes them more than their deposit back if they recycled those for money.”
“How do those tenants still have livers?”
“Guy singlehandedly kept Bud Light in business.”
“This should be a Bud Light commercial.”
Umm… I’ve got a feeling Bud Light would rather distance themselves from something like this. Bud Light commercials typically show people drinking the brew and having a good time… not getting evicted from their apartment.
