As Economy Recovers, Americans Are Drinking More Alcohol

It looks like Americans’ spirits are up — or at least the sales of spirits to Americans are up, as a new survey shows that people are buying more beer, wine and liquor when they go out to eat.

According to Technomic’s 2012 BarTAB study, sales of the adults-only drinks at restaurants were at $93.7 billion in 2011, a 4.9% increase over the previous year. And the researchers behind the numbers say booze-buying is trending upward for this year and next.

    More likely alcohol prices have gone up, and, with less people employed now than in 2009, no, there is no "recovery" happening. This is what we call a DEPRESSION.

    Democrats have invested heavily in the booze industry and the recovery industry.
