2020 has been a difficult year, filled with many challenges and lessons. One of the best things I have learned is to appreciate the power of the small things in life – Like a simple walk and having a beer with friends. “La Passeggiata” is a little gift from Italy. It’s a ritual where people take to the streets in the evening to meet and reconnect with others and to show off their true style! Peroni Nastro Azzuro encouraged me to enjoy my own “Passeggiata” , (Check it out on my stories!) We strolled along the cobblestoned streets of Cathedral Quarter. It’s impossible to miss the intense coffee aroma in the air as you pass Established coffee – something I missed so much during lockdown! We continued along commercial court, one of my favourite little streets in all of Belfast! It’s such a good insta spot, I grabbed a photo on the red benches under the twinkling lights, couldn’t resist! We walked, we talked, we laughed, it was genuinely so fun! & now I’m home, wrapping my passeggiata up in style and enjoying another little gift from Italy – @peroniireland ❤️ I encourage you to do the same! #WalkWithUs #VitaConStile #TrueStyle #PeroniNastroAzzurro #ad

Alcohol consumption down by 10% between 2019 and 2021 according to Patricia Callan @DrinksIreland #internationalbeerday

New provisional data from Revenue shows that alcohol consumption fell by 4.7% between 2020 and 2021 as the hospitality sector endured strict lockdowns in an effort to stop the spread of Covid-19.
Alcohol consumption saw a fall of 9.6% between 2019 and 2021, which Drinks Ireland said showed the true impact of Covid related restrictions and closures on hospitality venues.
Beer and cider consumption saw the most dramatic declines due to their popularity in pub trade. Beer consumption fell by 18.3% between 2019 and 2021 and cider was down by 15.1%.
Meanwhile, wine consumption was down by 13.1% between 2020 and 2021 and by 2.7% between 2019 and 2021.
Spirits consumption remained relatively static, rising marginally by 1.9% between 2019 and 2021.
Drinks Ireland said that people have progressively been drinking less since 2001.
It noted that alcohol consumption is now at its lowest level in 20 years and has fallen by about 30% since 2001.

Patricia Callan, Director of Drinks Ireland, said today’s data shows the continued decline in alcohol consumption in Ireland, exacerbated by the Covid pandemic.
“The industry has worked hard to continue to tackle alcohol misuse. The growing trend we see at home and in other established international markets is people choosing to drink quality over quantity, which we welcome and will continue to encourage,” Ms Callan added.
