A: The beer (yes, just the beer, not the vodka and not the wine and not the jello shots) that Americans drink on the 4th of July. See full story here from CNBC.
To give you an idea of how much money that is to spend on beer, the following also cost $1B:
Saving the Great Lakes
Providing affordable housing in the San Francisco Bay Area
Producing (almost) all the original content Facebook needs in a year (or Apple)
Five years’ worth of marijuana sales in Colorado
In short, that’s a lot of money. That’s why we have an exercise in Drinker’s Helper that’s called “Money Saved,” prompting you to think about the specific things you could spend your hard-earned dollars on, other than a $15 cocktail.
If you decide to cut back or quit drinking after a boozy 4th, we’d love to support you. Try our app for your virtual support group, motivational exercises, and tracking & insights.
