Sell your stock in Liquor companies- this can\'t last
 
I was at a bar the other night and I will tell you, the popularity of Alcohol has peaked.

I really can't see the market staying this good much longer. In the three hours at the bar I saw a couple guys have like NINE drinks.... where are they getting the money?

Sooner or later these drunks are going to go broke or realise they are wasting their time. I mean how much fun can it be for these people to spend so much money on booze and get nothing in return except a hangover? It just is not logical. Sooner or later they will realise that there are better things to do with their time and money other than alcohol.

Yep, I would hate to be an employee of a liquor distributor... it simply can't last.

I get your point, but I think there are differences that make online poker less of a sure thing.

The simalarites as I see them between recreational drinkers and recreational poker players are the following: For both groups their hobby costs them money. They recieve no tangible benefit from their expenditures. In most cases the money could better be spent elsewhere. They just want to have a good time.

The other point I wanted to make is that the poker economy is not in danger of drying up, anymore than the liquor economy. People who drink have jobs, so do most people who play poker. It is just a matter of how much of their discretionary income thye choose to invest.
