Water temperatures in parts of the central equatorial Pacific Ocean could reach 3 degrees Celsius above average late in the year.

That would surpass the current record set back in 1877 and 2015 and exceed the threshold for what's known as a super El Nino.

Boy, can't get much good news, can we?

But look, I'm not the person to go to on accents and pronunciations normally.

And then that makes us think about bushfires and the likes and the fact that we're already going to be dealing with food price inflation due to the Strait of Hormuz being closed.

No.

I was going to say, could be time for a drink.

Yes.

So the number of drinks, because we've been told that people aren't drinking as much, particularly young people aren't drinking as much anymore.

But the number of drinks sold by Anheuser-Busch, which is the world's largest brewer,

increased in the March quarter for the first time in three years, suggesting there might be life left yet in the alcohol sector.

So, Sean, growing sales in Latin America underpinned a 12% jump in revenue with record sales in Brazil.

And in Mexico, where Anheuser-Busch owns Corona, sales were also much higher.

But the biggest growth, albeit from a lower level, came in non-alcoholic beverages.

In that sector, sales were up 27%.

Which side of the fence do you sit on?

If you're going to have a beer, would you have an alcoholic or non-alcoholic beer?

Good for you.

Okay.
