TIL World’s biggest beer, wine and spirits producers have collectively lost $830 billion in market value over just four years. Changing drinking habits and rising health concerns have hit earnings across the sector. Millennials and Gen Z are also not much interested in alcohol.

    The legalization of Marujuana, edibles and young people collectively don’t go to bars anymore, I wonder if the amount of drunk driving has declined.

      I want to say no…but I don’t have any way to know that I’m right. I’d assume the number of young drunk drivers has gone down. And I assume drunk driving will go down drastically once the boomers start their giant death toll numbers. But that’ll be over the next 20 years. My mom is 80. My grandma lived to be 103. The youngest boomers are 60.

      But again, I have zero clue how right I am.

      Hence why MADD has been moving the goal posts to keep the numbers up to keep getting the donations. You can’t have a not for profit win, the struggle must be artificially continue for the fat salaries…

      “Amount of drunk driving” equals “how much cops pull over drunk drivers”
