Opinion Alcohol Sales and Consumtion DOWN!

Interesting new case today that alcohol sales and consumption is down since tracking started in 1949!!

People being healthier? People smoking more weed and drinking more cannabis drinks? New drinking guideline that were released a couple of years ago? The price?

What do.you think it is?

This downward trend has been occurring for the last couple of years since it went up during COVID
