    thanks for posting the actual info from the article. For clarity the question was:

    Have you changed your alcohol-buying habits since the tariffs came into effect?

    I am amused by “I’ve been drinking less” because it is not at all mutually exclusive with the 2 “Yes” answer. And some scenarios are not even possible

    • I’m drinking less + haven’t changed what I am drinking
    • I have been buying more American products + any of the Yes or No answers

    I also highly doubt 12% of people are drinking less. I wonder what the baseline self reported rate of “drinking less” is at any given time. I imagine there is seasonal variation.
