Beer-Branded Oaths
Take the Anheuser-Busch Pledge to Drink Responsibly

By: Katherine Vong (Superstar) Jul 12, 12

Earlier this year Pernod Ricard created a Facebook pledge campaign encouraging Europeans to drink responsibly, and although that particular campaign was a flop (it received a measly 115 Facebook ‘Likes’), the Anheuser-Busch pledge has just been launched to do the same for beer drinkers in the United States.

The American beer brand, which launched its ‘When to Say When’ campaign 30 years ago, hopes to persuade beer drinkers to promise that they will engage in responsible drinking by taking the Anheuser-Busch pledge on its dedicated website, NationofResponsibleDrinkers.com. Once a person has taken the pledge, he or she can share it on Facebook as well as submit his or her geographical information so that Anheuser-Busch can mark it on a digital map. When people hover or click on the map, an image of someone who has taken the pledge will pop up.

Anheuser-Busch’s VP of corporate social responsibility Kathy Casso stated, “With close to half a billion adults on Facebook, we see an enormous opportunity to expand our reach to newer generations of adult drinkers.”
