Alcohol sales are down according to Hubby's stock report causing retailers to amp up displays and adds. Sounds like the younger gen are choosing alternatives to AL like weed and mocktails.

I have heard the same thing. Maybe all the science around how bad alochol actually is for you is starting to have an impact, a bit how it did with smoking for my generation. -
I'm surprised that alcohol sales are down but maybe people are getting smarter about their health these days. I cringe when I think about the money that I wasted on booze. Worse yet was the damage to my liver caused by years of drinking. So not worth it!
Waves to everyone!

Good morning Cafe. Ginger, that would make sense about new ways to display booze. Aldis for years has never had the display at the entryway of the store. You have to pass the wine to get to the fruits and veggies. I see people casually picking up one or two bottles along with their groceries. I think to myself, how can they do that? Rather than thinking my brain is broken I need to change that narrative and think I dont drink it because it’s poison. It is literal poison. All these people that are health nuts and then turn around and drink wine. That is very counterproductive. Anyway, enough of that. Meeting up with some friends today to have lunch and crab on the river. They will be drinking but we will be bringing sparkling water and Diet Coke. Hope everyone has a great and sober day.Comment

Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.

Dentist went OK yesterday. There were a couple of bumps along the way so thank goodness for numbing! I appreciate my dentist and his staff so much!
The "in your face" wine displays bring about the contrarian in me! We will get thru the Holidays in spite of them!
24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

I think it's great that alcohol sales are down, alcohol has destroyed too many lives and will continue to do so but at least people are getting smarter about the amount of alcohol they consume.
Woke up to a winter wonderland this morning, that means a date with the snow shovel lol.

A year from now when the new fed law kicks in and stops the sale of hemp products, I bet we see those AL sales go back up. It makes me wonder if the AL lobby is behind this change in law. Weed sales are basically new in comparison to AL and don't have the lobbying power of AL. Humans have been trying to numb themselves since time immemorial. Sad
Waves to all my pals. I'll take another!Comment
