They dropped 50 million liters per year in consumption from 2008 to 2014.

But now stout consumption in the UK rose 43% from 2019 to 2024.

They are just so back in right now, which every other drink is not.

I think partly because of the Instagram ability of, you know, that nice creamy head.

It just looks good to take a picture of.

Also, it feels like you're getting banged for your buck because Guinness can feel like a complete meal in itself.

So even though the spirits industry is not doing well, the stout industry is quite stout right now.

I'm going to put my weatherman hat on for a second and say what is actually driving this massive potential ice storm.

And it really is a very large and very cold Arctic massive air is coming southward for Canada at the same time that rain and moisture from the southeastern United States is moving upward.

So those two are meeting in the middle and you have an extreme, almost like peak winter event right there, which is why you are seeing just these warnings of very catastrophic damage because obviously southern states in the southern part of the country

are not very well equipped to dealing with ice as maybe the northern states are.

So be careful if you're driving.

Be careful if you're traveling.

We hope for the best for you out there.

Moving on, Lululemon does not learn from its mistakes.

The company is pulling a new style of leggings from its shelves after customers complained that the fabric was see-through.

Now this carries with it a double case of irony.

One, because the yoga pants were branded as get low leggings designed for training, and yet multiple reviews on Reddit complained that the leggings were decidedly not squat proof.

Secondly, this is not the first or even the second time Lulu has dealt with a see-through legging problem.

Just 18 months ago, it had to pull its breeze-through line for similar problems.
