Martinis in moderation
Article Abstract:
Sales of alcoholic beverages have made a big resurgence since 1997 after liquor companies decided to put emphasis on the quality of their products. Alcoholic beverages are portrayed more as an experience in entertainment and leisure. Cocktails are also starting to become popular again even if people are still drinking less than they used to. Liquor sales have also been helped by increasing medical evidence that moderate drinking may have beneficial health effects.
