Only half? C'mon, Canada, you can do better than that.
Here is the breakdown:
So the headline is potentially misleading. I also don't love the survey options, and it's a pretty small sample size
thanks for posting the actual info from the article. For clarity the question was:
I am amused by "I've been drinking less" because it is not at all mutually exclusive with the 2 "Yes" answer. And some scenarios are not even possible
I also highly doubt 12% of people are drinking less. I wonder what the baseline self reported rate of "drinking less" is at any given time. I imagine there is seasonal variation.
I've been drinking more since the tangerine turd got into the White House.
Sounds like 17.3% are traitorous dogs
Despite these options not being mutually exclusive, I think I would be in the 17.2%. I'm not buying US booze now, but I wasn't buying it before either.
Mostly this survey is pretty bad, and I don't think we can make any good conclusions from the results.
Shit, you're right. I'd also fall under that category.
I haven't changed my habits. Since I've not had big label beer much to begin with, and American mass-produced beer tastes like shit anyway. I haven't had American craft beer only because I'm not over there to get it.
There are smalk towns that often don't have any alternatives than the big American brands.
But that demographic can't make up 47% of consumers, surely.
It's actually only 17%, and even that was "I haven't changed my habits", which could be someone that was buying Canadian already.
The 53% was people who changed habits and are buying more Canadian/ international. The rest includes no change, drinking less, and people who don't drink.
They have Molson and Kokanee
That's what I love about having the state run alcohol stores in Sweden. The fascist-"conservatives" complain about it to no end, but it means no matter what remote bush you live in, you have access to the same range of alcohol as city folks. And if your local store don't have it in stock, they'll order it for you at no additional fee. Now that home delivery is more of a thing it's even easier.
Let's just hope the right isn't able to destroy it in the name of "choice and freedom (freedom to exploit)" before we manage to get social democrats back in power.
We have the same here in Québec. But in remote village with only one general grocery store, they often have only a small section that carry shit like Smirnoff, Jack Daniel's, Tanqueray, and Havana Club. And some big commercial brewery beers.
Especially when we have a lot of good booze locally made already. No matter your style. Whisky, wine, beer, coolers, we have very good stuff in all categories.
Surely Canada lacks the climate for growing good wine grapes?
I’m not a big wine drinker (I’m more into whisky and beer) but Niagara has some good wines I’ve found. I don’t know what the specific notes are or anything like that but I’ve had a lot of good wine from Niagara and I have family who are big wine lovers and they all say Niagara is good for wine.
The Okenagen in interior BC makes some decent wine.
What I was thinking when I said it. There are wineries everywhere there.
