I like a good bourbon or scotch. Maybe this will lower the cost over time.
Oversaturated. Gen Z is not a big fan of breweries. So some of them are closing.
Agree with no pumpkin. Pumpkin belongs in pies, cookies, or bread. Not in my beer.
Too many IPAs on the market. Hops contain phyto-estrogens, so drinking a lot of IPAs turns you into a soy boy.
It’s a conspiracy!
Jack Daniel’s needs to get in bed with Deep State!
Another world-wide lockdown (FOR NO REASON!) would get liquor sales back up to 2020 levels.
*SMIRK* *HIC*
Well I know a guy who drinks more whiskey the more weed he smokes. Maybe he can be a consultant for Jack Daniel’s. The guys not good for much else.
Now me personally I wouldn’t call JD “premium”, call me a snob. It’s midshelf at best. Not a fan. Indeed not a fan of hard liquor much, except clear spirits like Vodka. Not even tequila. Most of it turns my stomach. Vodka and soda with a splash is alright, or a G&T.
The one advantage the spirit makers do have is the low carb and low cal aspect. One shot is more bang for the buck - no carbs and low calories and for some keto friendly foo. Better for weight loss if you have 3 shots than 3 beers or 3 glasses of wine. Drink a glass of water after each shot too. It’s even better if you have 12 shots because then you’ll toss up the dinner too. Negative calories!
Bourbon or Scotch is best mixed with 2-3 ice cubes....
Sales are down? I’m doing the best I can!
I’ve noticed the trend away from wine perhaps due to cost or perhaps the use of cannabis. Seems wherever I go, there are stacks of wine on sale.
Meanwhile, in a recent article in a wine mag, it was noted that the prices of wine in restaurants have gone to such an extreme, the lowest cost bottle on menus is approaching $50+. no wonder sales are dropping.
I don’t drink spirits. Interestingly, has anyone noticed the price of a 12 pack of simple soda these days? Unless there is a special sale, the standard price for Coke here seems about $8.
Jack Daniels is too expensive. Jim Beam serves the same purpose for 2/3rds of the cost.
Many, many reasons why alcohol, craft beer especially is seeing a serious downturn, Weed competition, Gen Z not drinkers (sit at home and stream) like Boomers, GenX or even Millennials, bona-fide health reasons and also many using at an excuse to mask they have no disposable cash, COVID funny money dried up, no extra funny money cash from house purchases and refinances, credit cards maxed out...basically the chickens are coming home to roost for the terrible economy we have which has been greatly accelerated over the last 4 years.
Kids dont drink anymore. I started drinking young, was an alcoholic by 16. I used a bike lock to lock the liquor cabinet when my kids we growing up and they thought it was hysterical.
Vaping is really big, but alcohol seems like something old people do, to them.
Never tasted it, not sure I’ve even smelled it.
Don’t like beer.
What’s this about pumpkins? Don’t like them either.
Thank heavens there is chocolate to keep me occupied.
I hate the taste of all alcohol personally. But to each their own.
Have you seen the price of quality bourbon?
Most things are always about money. For a lot of people, going out for drinks and dinner are way too expensive anymore.
my young friends who drink prefer the clear Zima-like flavored soda-pop mildly alcoholic beverages ...
[Zima was about two decades ahead of its time]
The Gen Z in my own family seem more interested in craft beer than hard liquor.
I’ve never liked Jack Daniels, I much prefer a good single malt Scotch or Jameson’s Irish whiskey.
