Bourbon on the decline?

[Chesusdog]

The studies are out there in public. If you don't want to read them that's fine by me. I don't really care one way or another on THC. If you want to stay fat, stoned, and stupid instead of fat, drunk, and stupid as you go through life that's your choice.

Do your own research. Trust the science. Meanwhile, every doctor in the country will tell you to stop drinking yesterday.

First, why does it have to be my lettuce? I did not create weed, dad did. Second, I had friends freaking out to collect the little things on the top of the corks, and others they were creaming about getting Pappy a few years back. Now, I do not see nearly the enthusiasm. I have been curious as to why?

You cant say data show a reason for concern and not specify the concern- this is SPS!

He can do that because… this is SPS…

Less calories, less damage to your body, no hangover. It's no wonder people are going for that over booze.

The boys say nonsense…..

What concern for younger people is shown from the early returns?
- physical developmental issues?
- mental developmental issues?
- increased chance for disease?

Good move by the administration to lower the classification so real studies can be done. I'm sure the alcohol lobby is already pushing a certain narrative without proof....somebody is because you are starting to see sporadic articles about how bad today's THC is....maybe maybe not but let's see the data.

I'm thinking maybe there is a certain age you pivot your allocation

Did I say otherwise?

As a weekly consumer of Makers and,or Knob Creek for 15+ years, it's amazing how that price point hasn't increased as much as most other things the past few years. If prices go lower, lord help my liver!
But seriously, Scotch is different, from tarriffs I believe. There is an aberlour abundah I get for hiking trips that was $80ish back in 2018,, it's up to $120 now. They finally priced me out

I’m in the industry and bourbon is definitely on the downswing; i don’t know if it is because people don’t have as much disposable cash right now or just because it is playing out to an extent. But, the African American community seems to be dipping their toes into it and if it grabs hold with that demographic, that will keep things going.

That said, younger people don’t drink so the whole industry is down.

If things ever become more affordable again, it will be interesting to see if the bourbon bro’s get back to it or if people have just grown tired of it.

question for you as an insider, did the prices from the distilleries increase for Bourbon or was it mostly the liquor stores marking up the allocated? Scotch seemed to have risen during the 1st Trump administration but Bourbons seemed to vary greatly and I always, right or wrong blamed the retailers.

A lot more Old Drunks than there is Old Doctors

You can get Old Charter, but they took the age statement off. It is not aged 8 years, but a blend of younger malts. It's not bad, but I don't think its the same.

I used to buy 10 and 12 yr old old charter for $20 or so. Saw the 8 yr old last week.

My doc said not to exceed three drinks per day (I don't drink three a week except during MSU football and basketball seasons).
