Anheuser-Busch Ropes White House Into Vaccine-Based Marketing and Data Collection Scheme

June 4, 2021

Alcohol Justice logo. (PRNewsFoto/Alcohol Justice)

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., June 4, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Alcohol Justice is reporting the COVID-19 pandemic has been a tragedy, a challenge, and a generation-defining disaster. Thanks to a boost from the White House, global megabrewer Anheuser-Busch InBev (ABI) has embraced it as something more: a marketing opportunity. As state and federal public health agencies struggle to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine, ABI has announced a beer giveaway if 70% or more of the country receives a vaccination. The White House has unquestioningly amplified that announcement.

Not only does this giveaway provide free advertising for ABI, it gives them an unparalleled opportunity to harvest Americans’ personal information. To claim the free ABI product, consumers must not only provide name and date of birth, but also a photo—which has encoded information about their location and even the settings on their smartphone. This is not so Budweiser can verify vaccine status (it is illegal for them to do so), it’s so they can continue to laser-target marketing and, in the end, sell more beer.

In a company press release touting their “Let’s Grab A Beer” initiative, Belgium-based ABI’s new CEO Michel Doukeris says “…we are committed to supporting the safe and strong recovery of our nation.” “It’s just a slap in the face to those in recovery from alcoholism to hear that kind of self-serving rhetoric,” said Bruce Lee Livingston, Executive Director / CEO of Alcohol Justice. “If Mr. Doukeris truly wants to help our nation and not just exploit COVID for market share, he should simply direct the funds that they would spend on free beer and donate them to the country’s most deserving hospital emergency departments dealing with an epidemic of alcohol-related harm every day of the year.”

The White House’s decision to include ABI in its announcement of a National Month of Action to promote COVID-19 vaccinations gives a veneer of respectability to the promotion. However, the megabrewer may be overstating the closeness of its relationship with the Biden administration. This disingenuous language around vaccine outreach is not new for the company. They garnered accolades for announcing—via a Super Bowl ad—that Budweiser would be donating its Super Bowl ad time to vaccine awareness campaigns. It did not mention that it would still be running ads for Bud Light and other ABI products.

“AB-InBev has spent the last 15 months capitalizing on the pandemic to advance its strategy to deregulate alcohol and increase sales. This is yet another example of putting corporate benefit over public health and safety,” said Nicole Holt, Chair, U.S. Alcohol Policy Alliance.

“Let’s Grab A Beer” is a marketing and data collecting scheme, not a heroic act by ABI. In fact, their cost is no more than any seasonal advertising campaign. According to Alcohol Justice estimates, the over-the-counter price of a bottle of Budweiser for every unvaccinated American would be $144 million. That is less than 10% of their estimated domestic marketing budget of $1.5 billion.

“ABI and the Biden administration join a worrying group of governmental and commercial interests offering alcohol to incentivize vaccinations, including ersatz “craft brewer” Sam Adams and the state of New Jersey,” said Carson-Benowitz Fredericks, research manager at Alcohol Justice. “This creates numerous problems for public health advocacy.”

First, ABI and its allies are #COVIDwashing. For the past 15 months, the United States has been awash in alcohol companies trying to increase their profits amidst spikes in binge drinking and psychological distress. State governments have been complicit in this, culminating in legislative disasters like California’s current attempts to massively deregulate alcohol sales. And the worst companies (ABI, you’re up again) have attempted to directly tie alcohol to public health.

Second, alcohol use has likely worsened the scope of the pandemic. Alcohol suppresses the immune system, making heavier drinkers more likely to contract the virus and develop higher viral load. Densely packed bars and clubs have created the ideal spaces for person-to-person transmission, especially when intoxication makes it easier to neglect social distancing, masking, and other protective behaviors. On top of that, alcohol causes inflammation, and inflammation of the lungs—specifically, suffocation as inflamed lungs fill with pus and fluid—is the primary driver of death from COVID-19. (The “Director’s Blog” by George Koob, PhD, of National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism is helpful background.)

But the third and worst aspect of this is the threat that alcohol may impair the development of immunity. Heavy drinking very clearly inhibits immune response, and having a strong initial immune response is fundamental lasting immunity. It is not clear that one free beer makes a difference, but following it up with two more incontrovertibly prevents the body from reacting properly to viruses or vaccines.

The pandemic still blazes worldwide, including in the United States. The vaccine shows promise to slow the tide of harm. The country still needs real leadership to help its people, however, without promoting Big Alcohol. After all, the alcohol industry are merchants of harm that every generation experiences, and for which there will never be a vaccine.

The public is encouraged to TAKE ACTION here: https://bit.ly/3g910yN or Text the word JUSTICE to 313131, to tell the White House and ABI’s Michel Doukeris that the promise of a free beer will not solve the COVID pandemic or any other problem for that matter. ABI should contribute funding to hospitals that deal with alcohol-related harm on a daily basis instead of encouraging more alcohol consumption with marketing masquerading as public health incentive.

Latin Urban Superstar Farruko Joins Stellar Line Up for Inaugural Triller Live Concert Series Event June 19th at Miami’s loanDepot park Performing To Live Miami Audience For the First Time Since Pandemic; Tickets On Sale Now

June 4, 2021

Triller_Fight_Club___Primary_Brand_Logo___Black_Logo

LOS ANGELES and MIAMI, June 4, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Farruko, one of Latin Urban music’s leading and globally acclaimed artists, will take the stage for the first time at Miami’s loanDepot park to help kick off the New Triller Live Concert Series on June 19th as part of an epic three-hour concert for Miami’s first “full open seating” event post-COVID, which will then be followed by a four-hour extravaganza mixing music and some of the biggest boxing matches in a show produced by the visionary producer of So You Think You Can Dance and American Idol.

Farruko is joining previously announced hip hop superstar Meek Mill, Latin superstar rapper Myke Towers, rap legend Snoop Dogg and Reggaeton sensation Lunay in the full-set concert which kicks off at 6:00 PM EDT. The concert precedes the most exciting, thrill-packed fight event of the year, which will also offer entertainment between fights once the fight card starts. The evening will also feature a surprise performance of a never-before-seen, never-seen-again duet.

Produced by So You Think You Can Dance co-creator Nigel Lythgoe and featuring Miami’s hottest salsa dancers and a world-class pyrotechnics display, the Fight Club event is an unprecedented evening combining the world’s best entertainers and boxers in a not-to-be-missed, four-quadrant entertainment extravaganza.

Farruko is recognized as one of the most important musical phenomena in the Latin music industry. Thanks to his fantastic artistic versatility and his excellence on stage, the multi-platinum artist and two-time Latin GRAMMY winner has managed to conquer massive audiences around the world, becoming one of the most innovative exponents of the reggaeton genre. With eight successful studio albums and multiple collaborations with international artists of different genres, his success has impacted the Hispanic American community, in such a way that his career has been recognized by HBO with a documentary focused on his career, “Farruko: En Letra de Otro.”

His last album “Gangalee” debuted #2 on Billboard’s “Top Latin Songs” chart, entered the “Billboard 200” global chart, and was certified 7x multi-platinum. This album presents essential singles like “Nadie,” “Inolvidable,” “La Cartera” with Bad Bunny, and “Delincuente” with Anuel AA. Likewise, his single “Calma – Remix” with Pedro Capó became an iconic hit of popular reggaeton, which not only received a Latin GRAMMY award but has also been certified as platinum by the RIAA. Additionally, the song received an ASCAP 2020 award and has almost two billion views in its music video. Farruko is characterized by his highly-adaptable skills across musical genres, and his ability to break international barriers with his unique talent. Constantly demonstrating his musical evolution, Farruko reaffirms his position as an artistic powerhouse in the Latin music industry. His latest release, “Love 66,” alongside famed Staten Island rapper CJ, is yet another testament to that.

Triller Fight Club partner Snoop Dogg, said, “To have such as talent as Reggaeton star Farruko joining this incredible line-up of music and fights, well, there is nothing left to say. You all better be in Miami on June 19, or you will be missing out on the most exciting cultural moment of the year.”

Triller Live Concert Series precedes the first-ever boxing event held at loanDepot park in Miami, Florida, home of the Miami Marlins which will be configured in an intimate and unique setting with full open seating for the first time since COVID. The event offers something for everyone: music lovers, boxing fans, adults and kids.
