I’m glad to see this shift. I hope drunk driving diminishes, too.
Alcohol will be around for a long time I’m sure. But if overall consumption declines, that’s a good thing.
Of course, business owners see anything but constant growth as a “tragedy”. But the smart ones will plan on scaling back and/or getting into something else and/or repurposing grapes.
Personally, I came to realize that alcohol just makes me feel blah, and interferes with quality sleep. I almost never drink anymore, and I don’t miss it.
