In the wake of the wild and sorta funny scandal involving agents of the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission using their positions to secure prized bottles of Pappy Van Winkle at standard retail prices, Adam and Zach discuss why this sort of chicanery is inevitable with the bonkers secondary market for these whiskies, and how lobbyists are using stories like this to chip away at public support for state control of liquor sales in the states where it persists.

With the recent news that spirits have surpassed beer as the top-selling drinks category in America, Adam and Zach explore what exactly has driven this transformation: why spirits can be seen as both high-brow and low-brow, and why they're particularly cleaning up in on-premise settings.

With the Super Bowl in the rear view mirror, Adam and Zach discuss why this year's crop of booze ads were surprisingly lackluster, even with more drinks companies advertising than ever before. Have celebrity ads become boring and predictable? Does no one want to take chances on the biggest stage? Or was this just a one-year blip?

Adam, Joanna, and Zach dive into a recent lawsuit alleging that Sazerac has been misleading customers by selling a second, malt liquor-based version of their hyper-popular Fireball, using nearly identical labeling, packaging, and verbiage but placing it into venues like convenience stores where spirits are not allowed. It's clearly a successful, if cynical, move for Sazerac, but will other companies follow their lead?

Adam, Joanna, and Zach unpack the 2023 Silicon Valley Bank Wine Industry Report, and discuss how wine's struggles to attract younger consumers have only deepened, as the industry as a whole does not properly market to Millennials and Gen Zers even as they face much wider competition in the beverage alcohol space.
