Why are people willing to spend money on drinks when they're not willing to, you know, perhaps spend money on food?
And why do restaurants love them?
That was Heather Haddon, who covers restaurants for The Journal.
And that was What's News in Earnings.
Today's show was produced by Anthony Banzi with supervising producer Tali Agrel.
Until then, I'm Laura Cooper.
Have a great day.
So it's no secret that Americans are smoking less and all the formerly called tobacco companies, now I call them nicotine companies, are looking for new engines of growth.
So companies like Altria that traditionally were making cigarettes are now looking to make these nicotine pouches.
They kind of look like tiny tea bags that sit in your mouth between the gum and the cheek and they're very popular.
So beer's had a hard time for quite some time.
That has a lot to do with younger generations experiencing
choosing like cannabis or THC drinks, and then also GLP-1s curbing the appetite for people that have a beer on a Friday.
And it's been hard for everyone.
Molson Coors is one of the companies that has been hit by this, and they've been pretty open about that.
They're moving into having non-alcoholic offerings, including energy drinks and Fever Tree.
for instance, but they continue to push their beer offerings as well.
So it becomes, is this a cyclical or a secular trend in beer?
And no one can answer that question yet.
So for beer companies, they're seeing people buy single cans of beer instead of packs of beer.
