Alcohol Sales Are Down - People are Choosing to Not Drink. Many prefer Marijuana. Many prefer Sobriety... Just like smoking tobacco, it's out of style... a significant shift toward sober-curious lifestyles.

Remember! Hangovers are Nature's Way of Telling You Something's Wrong... 

Kentucky bourbon manufacturers are going out of business due to poor sales in Canada. Tariffs are causing trade problems... Duh... 

Bourbon maker Jim Beam halts production at main distillery for a year...

When I was in high school, juicers were considered uncool... Because we had grass and acid and alcohol was just like... Popular with my parent's generation... But this was the late 1960s and we'd moved on! 

Alcohol sales are declining globally and in the U.S. as of 2025–2026, driven by a record low in consumption rates, particularly among Gen Z. Key factors include increased health awareness (including GLP-1 drug usage), the rise of non-alcoholic alternatives, and economic factors. Wine and beer are experiencing the sharpest dips, with a significant shift toward sober-curious lifestyles.

Let's Ban Alcohol Ads on TV. We Banned Tobacco Ads and That Worked! Everyone Knows That Alcohol is Dangerous... Keep it Legal but STOP Promoting Use.

The Main Trouble with Those TV Ads Is:
I'm an Alcoholic and Those Ads Make Me want to Drink. We Have Delivery Service Here and I Could Simply Order Online! So Two or Three Times an Hour I'm Tempted... 

It Appears That Crown Royal is Promising a Psychedelic Experience...
Drink and You'll Go to "Pepperland" in a Yellow Submarine Just Like the Beatles Did!
That's Simply Not True...
http://gvan42.bravesites.com/
They are Just Encouraging People to Drink More and that Leads to Brain Damage, Liver Damage and Automobile Crashes... DUI Tickets and Eventually Death... But That's Balanced Out by all the Bad Decisions that Lead to Unwanted Children... 

It's Damn Unlikely that You will become "The Most Interesting Man in the World." More Likely You Will Become Just Another Loudmouth Drunk... and a Menace to Society... maybe get in a Fight...

We don't see Tobacco Ads on TV anymore...
Because WE, as a Society,
Refused to Allow Obvious Poison on TV.

Notice the Side Effects Printed in Tiny Letters 

Let's Stop Advertising Prescription Drugs... and Non Prescription Drugs as Well... Who Benefits from these Advertisements? NOT THE VIEWERS... NOT PATIENTS...

Corporations make money selling Alcohol, Drugs and so do the TV Networks... Corporations that have a Horrible Track Record of Abusing People... Remember The Massive Lawsuit that Purdue Pharmaceuticals Lost about Oxycontin? Killing People, Causing Addiction... Billions of Dollars... and The People that Caused the Nationwide Crisis Got To Keep Millions of Dollars...

Ronald Hadley Stark & The Brotherhood of Eternal Love... One Kilogram of Liquid LSD

https://belhistory.weebly.com/ronald-stark.html

Stark told them that he had a mission to use LSD in order to: “facilitate the overthrow of the political systems of both the capitalist West and communist East by inducing altered states of consciousness in millions of people.”

The Brotherhood was impressed, and the Golden Era of cheap, high-quality LSD began. From then on through to 1973, Stark and the Brotherhood dosed almost an entire generation of America’s youth.

Here's an Interesting Radio Show that was broadcast from Foothill Junior College near San Jose, CA in the 1990s. David Emory Inherited Mae Brussel's Show when she died...

and on FaceBORG I Said:

The Johnny Depp Amber trial is a Classic Example of The Fall of the Roman Empire: "Bread and Circuses" - THIS is the Circus that's designed to Distract Attention from The Reality that Western Civilization is Collapsing... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses

And Biff Rose Replied:

you know better than that oh Saint Gregory II.....that ol' cliche about The Fall of the Roman Empire....everyone knows there was a transition....bridged over and re-glued together...by Saint Augustine's BEST SELLER....1500 years on the NY Times Best Seller list...." The City of God"... where the "Rome's Caesar" was renamed "The Pope" and the Roman Senators were all re-named Cardinals and Bishops....and the Vestal Virgins were re-named nuns.........and the mystical "God of the Army" was shifted from MITHRAS whose birthday was Dec 25th to Jesus whose birthday was shifted to Dec 25th..so much..OR MOST of "that Old Time religion" was continued intact..just like NOW as N.O.W..... the New Order of the Word...where the Roman Empire CONTINUES thru "Caesar CZAR" Vlad Putin...and Moscow the THIRD ROME arising...petulant as a kid...blocking food for the world's poor.....unless the old dead..dying and corrupt WEST Hollywood... release some of those great and totally decadent fleshpot flicks Czar Putin likes to watch late at nite before halting another shipment of grain to Sri Lanka,,WTF's WRONG witchoo Saint Greg?

You know damn well every thousand years there's a BIGGIE to satisfy and tittylate yo' Tupac....a THOU years ago it was the eastern Orthodox SCHISM where the original Nicaean Creed ( the Apostle's Creed of 325 a.d....) was re-invoked where grace PROCEEDS from the FATHER...some Monks in the 6th century I read inserted "and the SON" and so the gospel read "Grace proceeds from the Father, AND THE Son and the Holy Spirit".....SPIRIT used to be GHOST but as the tired and waning West's white male.........began losing it in Nam......grace began proceeding from a FATHER MACHO dude once more and the Patriarch Kyrill in Moscow has blessed that move by coronating Czar Putin whose gonna beat the WEST cuz he's ONE with the FATHER fig...the WEST meanwhile keeps praying to the SON GUY....the fall guy Jesus.....to come riding in on the silver stallion...from Calvary to the cavalry....Czar Putin meanwhile keeps dangling the Atomic Carrot over the heads and those GIVING head in the WEST'S Hollywood...

and I Replied:

and today the verdict was read... She got fined 15 Million for lying about Johnny Beating her up and He Got fined for Lying about How it was all a Hoax... She Called the cops, they found nothing wrong... so she threw wine all over the living room and tipped over some furniture AS IF there had been a Fight... and She Called the Cops again... and They Found Nothing Wrong Again... BUT... When Johnny said That action was a Hoax... the Jury awarded her 2 Million... because they didn't think it was a HOAX... it was Just another day in Paradise!

People Who Drink Alcohol Get Permanent Brain Damage. They Can't Even Tell When They Are Being Lied To... CON MEN LIKE tRUMP FIND THEM QUITE EASY TO FOOL...

Thankfully, When I was a Teenager We Had Marijuana and "Juicers" Were Scorned...  

In My Lifetime I Drank Very Little and NOW, at Age 67, I Have a Great Memory. Except for what happened in the Late 1990s When I Drank... But I Joined AA and Quit... EASY! I Found That the Cloud Lifted from My Mind... and I was Quite Happier.

Often I Have Conversations with Brain Damaged People and It's Obvious... Remember: It Takes Two To Make a Lie Effective. The Teller of the Lie and the Believer of the Lie. 

REFUSE TO BELIEVE tRUMP'S LIES.

When I was Growing Up, Drinking Alcohol was Considered Socially Unacceptable. Peer Pressure said "Don't be a Juicer."

 It wasn't until the Late 1990s that I started Drinking, quickly became an Out Of Control Alcoholic, Joined AA and Quit. I still like going to AA Meetings... I spent about Five Years drinking and only suffered the Brain Damage for a Short Time. When we were Teenagers we had Marijuana and LSD and Drinking was something from my Parent's Generation... Not Cool. 

Ironically, when Marijuana became Legal, I quit. My brother got Lung Cancer and that REALLY SCARED ME so I quit smoking Tobacco and Marijuana... Now I Enjoy Deep Breathing Meditation... Breathe Rapidly and Deeply and MORE OXYGEN GOES TO MY BRAIN... I still like Coffee and Sugar... I'm High on Those Two Drugs Right Now and They Cause me to Think Up Ideas to Say...

I became bored with LSD... It Seems to Me That There Has to Be SOMETHING BEYOND ACID...

Suppose You Had a Pressure Cooker Filled with Wine and a Long Hose Running Into A Tent... Put the Pressure Cooker on the Campfire and...

The Alcohol will Evaporate and Fill the Tent with Intoxicating  Vapors and Hot Steam... Like a Sweat Lodge but With Booze... Might be Useful to Heat the Tent just before Bedtime... 

Of Course you could fill the Pressure Cooker with Coffee, Tea or Water and Marijuana Leaves... Beef Stew... anything!

If You Filled it with Vodka AND Marijuana Leaves The Alcohol would act as a Different Solvent Than The Water... Releasing Different Chemicals...
