We drink $1 billion of Natural Light a year

Call it budget-conscious or poor taste but American beer drinkers slug down an astonishing amount of crappy beer.

The Chicago Tribune put together a chart of the top selling beer brands in the U.S. Bud Light came in first with $5.25 billion in sales between October 3 of this year and last. But fifth on the list is the choice of beer pong players and university tailgaters — Natural Light with an astonishing $1.13 billion in sales.
