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.

Diageo put Dolores and Gloria Guinness out front

The way we were. Metro Society style icons – mother and daughter: Dolores and Gloria Guinness wearing Balenciaga for French Vogue in 1957. From the 1950’s through to the end of the 1970’s they graced the society pages of fashion magazines. Stuff of legend, these two ladies led an existence that combined the high life, the best of the best, all underpinned with elegance and classic grace, and often laced with tragedy. Attending all the smart parties, being seen in all the right places, following the seasons around the globe, this mother, daughter act were repeatedly honored on the best dressed lists and considered iconic in the fashion world. Close to mirror images of one another they were each other’s inspiration to set the standard. Gloria leading by example, Dolores following up with a more moedern twist.
