Marketwatch.com is reporting about a recent Gallup pole, the Consumption Surveys:

According to a new Gallup poll, beer’s lead over wine and spirits has returned to double-digits for the first time since 2002, particularly among adults between the ages of 30 and 49 who tried wine for a few years then shifted back to beer.

While it is no surprise that beer is the fluid of choice, what I thought was interesting is the need to say folks in my age group “tried wine” for a few years. Doesn’t that connote some type of single minded snobbery? I wish Gallup would contact me with a consumption pole. They might run out of room though.

I will admit to running in streaks, where I’ll enjoy beer for a bit, then wine, then maybe a coctail. Those streaks last maybe a month, but mostly I don’t consume one thing exclusively. I might have a beer one night, a glass of wine the next.

There was a cool link in the article to A-B’s “Here’s to Beer” website, which I haven’t seen before. I was able to look through the beer and food pairings, very interesting. Worth spending some time while bored.

Cheers!
