       Alcohol Sales Up

       Make America Great Again!  Go figure!  Alcohol sales are up and
       it's because of the Millennials according to WFLA
  HTML http://wfla.com/2017/02/08/experts-say-liquor-sales-on-the-rise-because-of-millennials/:<br
       />
       (WFLA) — For the seventh year in a row, the liquor industry beat
       out the beer market and continues to gain sales.
       According to data released from the Distilled Spirits Council of
       the United States, booze is crazy popular.
       Liquor sales to suppliers went up over five percent, to reach
       over $25 billion last year. The Council said every day customers
       who purchased alcohol spent a whopping $78 billion in 2016.
       Distilled Spirits Council President and CEO, Kraig R. Naasz,
       said the boom is liquor sales is from “a growing audience of
       adult millennials.”
       American whiskey is also on the up and up, and this year it
       reached over six percent of a boost in sales. While whiskey is
       still gaining new fans, vodka sales won the majority snagging
       one-third of all sales.
       Tequila lovers continue to grow as well with volumes up seven
       percent.
       According to the Council drinking in general is rising because
       American whiskey is trendy, millennials love cocktails, and
       local distilleries are the new hot spot.
       But there's more to the picture!   Americans are not buying
       American as much according to Time
  HTML http://time.com/money/4662433/alcohol-import-sales-us-strong-dollar/:<br
       />
       The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that alcohol imports
       in the U.S. rose 6% last year, reaching $17 billion through the
       first 11 months of 2016. Once the final numbers are tabulated,
       2016 will likely go down as the biggest year for alcohol import
       sales in more than two decades.
       Meanwhile, sales of domestic alcoholic beverages—California
       wines, Kentucky whiskeys, numerous craft beer brands, and
       more—were up a mere 2% last year, representing the slowest
       growth in four years.
       At first glance, you might assume that American consumers have
       been buying more imported alcohol because prices have dropped.
       Oddly enough, that's not the case. While wholesale prices for
       imports have retreated by way of the stronger U.S. dollar, these
       savings have not been passed along to customers in the form of
       cheaper French wines, Mexican beer, Irish whiskey, and such.
       "For the most part, the stronger dollar hasn’t yet translated
       into cheaper alcohol for the American consumer," the Journal
       noted.
       If cheaper prices aren't driving Americans to sip more imported
       alcohol, what is? Apparently, we're hitting the foreign-made
       hooch more because the wholesales have significantly increased
       what they're bringing into the U.S., resulting in a bigger
       supply and better selection in stores. That seems to be a key
       reason why, for example, Irish whiskey sales in the U.S. were up
       16% last year.

       And in Canada, pot's going to be legal federally this coming
       Wednesday. One can smoke it wherever one can smoke tobacco
       apparently. Just don't wear a marijuana plant logo emblazoned on
       a t-shirt at a US border crossing among some other problems  .

       One may think that the mineral water sales are, therefore, down.
       No, both alcohol and water sales will be, in the average, up
       always. The reason is obvious; the population grows continuously
       :D
