Balls, my Substack account was getting a little unwieldy so I switched to reading it all on the app and turned off emails. Can I send you my mailing address on IG??

Thanks for writing this! I’m a former booze industry worker and a current booze industry partaker -- I’ve enjoyed it a lot so far.

Dave, you do seem to have a firm grip on your accounting terms and stats! Now, it's Friday after 5PM, stop working (reading your comments) and get going on some real boozeletter research for all of us!

As another trained finance professional (and happy paid subscriber), I can confirm those are correctly used. My training generally steers me away from subscriptions (and depreciating assets), but this newsletter is worth every penny. 'High ROI' as we say in the trade.
