These types of so-called surveys infuriate me. Sadly, in a more subtle manner, even medical oriented surveys can be leading in this way and with that, create an impression that some behaviors are damaging to all. I am of course thinking of “no safe level of wine consumption” which is such a blanket statement that cultural and individual context is missed. And somehow, I had been totally unaware of the dangers of FedEx drivers to our children!
This was clearly a push poll by the wholesalers meant to influence the NY and TX legislatures, which will see legislation introduced next year that would allow out-of-state distillers to ship spirits direct to consumers in those states. It's just about as cynical as one can get.

Adie,
