In Texas, where Bud Light sponsored a weekly dart league drawing over a hundred players every Thursday, this week, the bar sold only four bottles of Bud Light compared to the usual three kegs of beer.<\/p>\n<p><em>The author exclusively expresses his opinions and views, which may not necessarily reflect the views of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl is a veteran political reporter.
