    Perhaps demand is going down abroad due to people eschewing US products.

        OMG, it's interesting to see how the average person reasons about the world.

        You have your pet theory, you, without evidence, decide that every fact you see is confirmation for that theory, so now you believe your theory even more.

        I want to say something to make you feel bad about this, but you think I'm telling you that you were right all along.

          Where I live in Canada, it's not even a case of the consumers boycotting the products... they've been ordered to be removed from the shelves by the government. They're not even an _option_ to purchase. I think it's fair to say there's a bit of a cause-and-effect thing going on there when it comes to the impact on American alcohol producers. And when/if they do return to shelves, the general sentiment seems to suggest they still won't sell very well.
