I'm wondering if you have any insights into whether the recession is leading people to drink.<BR/><BR/>The New York Times this week ran a short editorial noting that, perhaps surprisingly, alcohol distributors were seeing their sales collapse.<BR/><BR/>Then, the next morning, I heard it reported on NPR's "All Things Considered" that the opposite (or as near to it as possible) was true: Liquor stores were moving their booze from the shelves at a record pace as laid-off workers, apparently, drowned their sorrows.<BR/><BR/>So which is it? Can Crosscurrents bring any clarity to this question?<BR/><BR/>Michael Stoll<BR/>San FranciscoMichael Stollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07583980513711235229noreply@blogger.com
