THE NEW ALCOHOL CONSUMER: HEALTH TRENDS RESHAPING WHAT MOVES IN TEXAS PACKAGE STORES

Today's beverage alcohol consumer has fundamentally changed, and the shifts happening now will define what's on your shelves for years to come. Younger generations are drinking less but spending more intentionally. "Better-for-you" products are going mainstream, and no- and low-alcohol options are gaining real shelf space. External forces - from GLP-1 medications to sports better decisions and social media wellness culture - are reshaping purchase decisions. At the same time, evolving federal dietary guidelines and WHO public health messaging are changing how consumers think about alcohol, which has direct implications for your business.

In this session, Amanda Nguyen, President & CEO of the American Distilled Spirits Alliance - connects these national trends to what they mean for Texas package stores, giving you the intelligence to stay ahead of the next shift.

As affordability concerns reshape both consumer behavior and the policy landscape, beverage alcohol retailers are feeling the impact at the cash register and in Washington, DC. This session explores how "affordability populism" is driving policy discussions from momentum behind payment card reform, regulating emerging alcohol alternatives like hemp-THC beverages, to increased scrutiny of competition by Congress and the Federal Trade Commission.

John Bodnovich of American Beverage Licensees will cover the evolving federal policy agenda shaping the future of beverage alcohol retail.
