Has anyone ever seen Bud Light for sale in the DR? I don't drink that nonsense but my friend refuses to come unless I can guarantee him some bud light.

Find a new friend. That one has questionable judgment.

If they are unwilling to sample a new beer for a week or two (it gets you just as drunk) what are they going to do when they find that the food tastes different or that Ketchup favoured potato chips are nonexistent? (I just figured Bud light and ketchup seem to be a logical pairing for this friend).

You might also try, "Bud Light translates to Presidente, in the local Spanish dialect" and because of the strong UV rays on the patio, the bottle is brown instead of clear.

He cuts my grass for free at two locations. I need to find BudLight. However I do plan to convert him to Presidente.

He is also going to have a hard time adjusting without pierogies and pigeons.

I have never seen Bud Light here. I guess your friend will not be visiting.

Lou used to have Bud & BL @ The Shark Bar for $12 a bottle, LOL!
I am sure In-Bev could locate a few cases on a neighboring island, they own every beer company.

The best part about travelling is trying out new things. Sounds like someone should stay home.

Your location?

Saw regular Bud in Jumbo, SD last week. The price of a six pack was only 40 pesos more than the price of a six pack of Presidente.

Regular Bud is certainly available. Just add some water and he will never know.

Thanks Bigbird!!
Hey no problem.

You still did not mention your location. Regular Bud is really easy to find in Santo Domingo Centro. Just about all the large supermarkets carry it and Drinks 2 Go liquor store has Bud. I am not sure about Bud Light as I never really searched for it.

You must have really big lawns to want to keep this guy. I have ssen Bud in National, Super Polla and Plaza Lama. I haven't looked for Bud Light cause I prefer beer to taste like beer not water
