(Likewise, some mock the perennial complaint that "people don't work as hard as they use to", but in fact hours worked per week has been steadily falling for 150 years.) > You don’t have to go far precisely because your local craft beer haunt, gastropub, sports bar and boozer all serve different clientele. I don't know what this is supposed to mean. If a country's is dominated by a certain establishment type I like, and then that type loses lots of market share to different types, I am worse off.
