Alcohol Discussion

>We all are assholes

>Klein said research found that the average millennial consumed about 24 drinks a month in 2013, but in 2019 that’s gone up to 29 drinks a month.

>The top 10% of drinkers account for more than half of all alcohol consumed in the U.S.
>The median consumption is 3 drinks per week among those who do drink (tossing out the 30% who don't drink at all.)
>According to Cook, "... the heaviest drinkers are of greatly disproportionate importance to the sales and profitability of the alcoholic beverage industry. If the top decile could be induced to curb their consumption to that of the next lower group (the ninth decile) then total ethanol sales would fall by 60%."

>The top 10% of longest distance runners account for nearly half of all distance ran, averaging about 30 miles per week. Meanwhile, the MEDIAN distance for all self-described 'runners' was only 0.79 miles a week. Pathetic!

>The top 10% of people (when measured by body weight/) consume half of all the cake, eating an average of 20 slices per week! Yet most people who reported eating cake in the last year only ate less than 1 slice per week. The confections industry would absolutely crumble without these lumbering beasts!
