The "50%" figure in the title is misleading because it appears to be made up. The video's sourced article makes clear the first week in April showed a sales drop of "nearly -7%", and a year-to-date drop of -0.4%. It is in unclear where Mr. Johnson arrived at the 50% figure. https://www.brewbound.com/news/bud-light-off-premise-sales-and-volume-decline-in-1st-week-of-boycott-impact-rough-not-catastrophic/
