man of the World....

I doubt I ever do much international traveling.  Could catch a virus or worse

I spent several months working in Belgium once upon a time, and the hotel bar was well sorted with local beers, plenty of delicious Belgian ales to choose from.  They also had featured an "import beer of the month" and for one of the months I was there, that featured import was Corona.  It was astounding how many Belgians and other Euros eschewed the world-class Belgian ales in favor of that Mexican hog urine in the clear bottle.  I guess it left more delicious Belgian ale for me, though, so I can't complain too much about it.

JD or other American whiskey makes sense, just as we have Scotch and Irish whiskys/whiskeys in our bars.  

Coke tastes good, so that also makes sense, though it's a sad commentary that Europe is becoming more Americanized in its consumption of junk food and fast food.  My recent trips over there, the locals have been much fatter than they were during my initial trips almost 30 years ago.

But drinking really bad-tasting beer simply because it's imported makes no sense at all, but hey, who am I to judge?

Even in Belgium, people like the light lagers.

I would have thought they'd be drinking more Stella Artois, but I'm not surprised that if Corona was the lightest flavored beer they had, that people went for it. People here drink Coors Light / Bud Light / Miller Lite, which to me tastes about as flavorful as a La Croix, i.e. water with a tiny hint of flavoring added.

Oh no don't get me wrong, pilsners and light lagers are still the highest consumed category even in Belgium.  But it's mostly their local versions, including Stella, Jupiler, and Maes.  Those all taste good over there, even Stella. Corona doesn't taste good ANYWHERE, not even in Mexico.

And I expect more from the palates of Belgians than I do from the palates of Americans raised on macro-swill, to be honest.

silly Europeans

Of course you've scaled down to your age 22 dimensions

I'll try that one, using some different methodologies.
