The clown who penned this article actually gets paid as a writer. First Gene - millennials are 19 to 35, not 35 to 44. Next - declining sales at the mega-swill suds suppliers does not indicate either generation is turning away from beer. Millennials are not chugging a six pack of watery lager every night, but they are going to a local brew pub for a pint or two of good beer. Most craft beers are two to three times as strong as megaswill, so folks drink fewer. Last - there are no numbers in this drivel to support the allegation that wine and spirits sales are increasing. Are they? By how much? As much as the population is increasing? The WaPo's journalism is a lousy as Amazon's two day delivery.
