HuffPo calls fake news on the poll saying 38 percent of Americans are no longer drinking Corona beer

You might have seen this CNN story floating around claiming that 38 percent of Americans are not drinking Corona beer for fear of contracting the coronavirus.

This has led to some stories with almost facetious headlines in the form of PSAs telling people that partaking of Corona beer will not lead to getting the virus.

But, HuffPo claims that the survey is not very trustable.

For one, it says the questions asked in the survey were vaguely-phrased, confusing and could have easily led to misconceptions on the part of those answering.

Second, it says that three key questions, including the one from which the statistic was derived, don’t even mention the coronavirus as motivation not to drink the beer.

And the HuffPo story also makes the point that the poll surveyed 737 beer-drinking Americans via phone.

Here are the questions asked (via Huffington Post and The Dispatch):

  • Are you a beer drinker?
  • Are you a Corona drinker?
  • Is Corona related to the coronavirus? (16% of beer-drinkers were “confused” about this.)
  • In light of the coronavirus, do you plan to stop drinking Corona? (4% who “usually drink Corona” said they planned to stop.)
  • Would you buy Corona in a store?
  • Would you order a Corona in a restaurant/bar/public venue? (14% who “usually drink Corona” said they would not.)
  • Would you buy Corona under any circumstances now? (38% of “beer-drinking Americans” said they would not.)

Guess we’ll have to draw our own conclusions as to whether we really think over a third of all Americans would stop drinking a beer brand because a virus has the same name.
