Check out this alcohol sales statistics graph . Notice the change in sales during a recession. It's no wonder why for every 1% rise in unemployment, the death rate drops 0.5%. If you can't afford your beer, most people won't resort to robbery to get it. They just stop drinking it. Take out sales of alcohol have plummeted 9.3 percent, with a 14% drop in beer sales.
Now that I mention it, I haven't admitted an alcoholic pancreatitis or hepatitis in months. Maybe there is some truth to the matter. What say you America? Have you cut back on your booze?
Cut out the liquor, drastically upped the chocolate and ice cream. I guess it's a wash.
ReplyDeleteI used to not drink at all, but now I drink about 1000 times that much.
