31. I drank Bud Light for years

I lived in So California most of my life and I always drank Bud Light. Some years back I left Calif for the east coast and discovered something I'd never noticed in Calif: Micro and Craft Breweries. No Bud Light for me for almost 10 years now. I've developed a taste for Stouts and Porters which are the exact opposite of Bud Light. Porters aged in bourbon barrels are my absolute fav. Of course they cost more than double but it's worth it.
