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.
i used to like to drink because it was fun and tasted good.
now most places serve the same shitty drinks that are not worth the crazy prices they charge. very few places offer worthwhile alcohol service anymore. every place has like the same 8 drinks they push. it’s boring to drink the same boring flavored drinks over and over. $20 for a shot of cheap vodka and a ginger beer and a squirt of lime juice is utter insanity. esp when i can go to another bar and pay that same price and get an actual good cocktail with a unique and interesting flavor.
