Adam, Erica, and Zach ask a difficult question: with incipient bad weather, how can bars and restaurants survive without outdoor dining? Will heat lamps and canopies be enough? Will to-go cocktails and takeout continue to be a lifeline? Or do we need larger, governmental support to keep these vital institutions afloat?

Adam, Erica, and Zach discuss gin's surge in popularity in 2020: is this the long-promised "Gin Boom?" If so, is it being driven by more interest in the gin and tonic, or other gin-based cocktails? Can craft distilleries grab a bigger share of the gin market? And will consumers ever find spots on their the shelves of their liquor cabinets or bar carts for a wide range of different gins?

This week, Adam, Erica, and Zach discuss the looming battle over direct-to-consumer alcohol sales: as the economy shifts more and more to an online, direct-shipping model, America's antiquated and inconsistent alcohol laws are a massive hindrance on growth, particularly for distilleries. Why exactly is it so difficult to ship spirits, and reasonably difficult to ship wine and beer? Why do we give distribution companies a huge cut of profits just to move alcohol around? Is this finally the time that producers and consumers can unite to effect change? Plus, Erica and Adam survive a hurricane and Zach worries about earthquakes.
