      Ah, thank you! I should have been more clear - it’s of course a factor to some nebulous degree, but I’d be extremely interested to see a study or similar on the impact income is having on alcohol consumption right now.

      How are they measuring it? I don’t buy alcohol but I drink it. Far cheaper to make my own.

      Not where I live, poor people drink a lot more, they just do without anything else.
