ELI5:Why do beer companies advertise so much? Is it really necessary for them to spend that much on commercials? I could never see another beer commercial for the rest of my life, I'm still going to remember to buy beer.

The beer companies want you to buy their brand of beer specifically, not just whatever beer strikes your fancy that day. Maybe you have a brand and always buy the same, but even that status has to be maintained. If you prefer Bud Light and have drunk it for years and have no intent of changing, but they stopped advertising while Coors Light did not, you might eventually try some Coors just because their commercials were so funny/cool/sexy/neat.
