How realistic are Canada’s new alcohol guidelines, which recommend no more than two drinks a week? We polled Torontonians to find out how much we consume, our favourite ways to imbibe, and other surprising habits of a tipsy city torontolife.com/city/the-toron…

Kudos to Yvonne Langen, David Coletto 🇨🇦 & the Abacus Data team for their presentation at the Drinks Ontario Conference. The cocktail mixture of statistics of what consumers are looking for in beverage alcohol & how they shop has provided attendees with critical planning info.

#Budget2023 is tomorrow. Faced with already high tax rates, increased operating costs & depressed sales volumes, an April 1st 6.3% inflation-based federal beer tax increase would be a punch in the gut for many brewers & hospitality sector. #HereForBeer #FreezeBeerTaxesNow

Drinks Ontario commends & thanks Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland in scheduling only a two percent 2023 Excise Tax - will have positive economic impact on Beverage Alcohol & hospitality industries. Thanks to the industry & MPs for encouraging the change.

A great podcast segment on @ChmlBillKelly that summarizes the cap on the excise tax. A great explanation from Jeff Blay about the long-term trickle down effects of the broader chain (hospitality, consumers, etc.) if the 6.3% tax had been implemented: open.spotify.com/episode/6pbNpI…
