And when you kind of think about that that big difference with about that 20% difference in alcohol consumption from the 80s to now, I think one of like the most significant aspects of that is kind of the crackdown on i advertisement um um policies that has happened in the last uh 40 to 50 years that has really prevented alcohol from kind of getting an edge in the consumer market, especially with the youth.

Um and I think that's kind of why we're seeing those decreasing uh those decreas decreasing percentages because alcohol consumption is not as um popular in the uh the the the younger populations.

But in replace of that, there are other um new products like um tobacco pouches like Zen and and and vaping products and nicotine products mainly I would say that have kind of filled in that void um that don't have as much restrictions on them right now that have really been attacking the the those younger audiences and kind of taking away that money and that interest away from alcohol, which is kind of and what I would say has led to that decrease in consumption in uh the United States populations.
