Maybe because it’s extremely expensive and also, you know, literally poison.
I have seen more than enough lives around me get ruined by alcohol that I have zero interest in ever taking a sip of it.

I enjoy a drink or two each month, but I am not going shed a tear about a corporation not seeing exponential growth/profits year after year.
The whole business model of “sustained growth” is flawed IMO. We need better metrics

Don’t worry too much. The next four years are probably going to drive a lot of us in the US to drink. It will more than make up for market losses in Canada and elsewhere.

That’s basically the attitude that the Mennonites have. I am not a mennonite, but I have been involved with many of them.
As I understand it, the view is that alcohol is not evil in itself, but the social damage that it does far outweighs any benefits. It just makes sense for the society not to have alcohol in it.
