Adam, Joanna, and Zach examine recent survey data that shows that, contrary to popular belief, the audience for non-alcoholic drinks is overwhelming made up of people who also drink alcohol, and that the growth in the NA sector is not in fact a sign that more Americans are turning away from alcohol, but in fact are looking for other interesting drinks to supplement, not supplant, the alcoholic drinks they love.

Adam, Joanna, and Zach react to the news that Gruppo Campari will be purchasing Courvoisier from Beam Suntory for $1.32 billion.
