If everyone stopped drinking alcohol, society would also collapse.
By monetary valuation, the global alcohol market is over 30x the size of the global meat market. Does this mean we should discourage people from replacing getting drunk with healthier alternatives?
- shrubble 3y agoDo you have a source for this statement? Doesn't pass the smell test for me...
- slfnflctd 3y agoWell, I had sources yesterday but I didn't save them. Today all I can find is that the alcohol industry is a little bigger, but not 30x (maybe closer to 20%). I'm not sure why there is so much disparity in these kinds of figures. Every source I can find today still seems to indicate the meat industry is at least somewhat smaller, though.
