5W Public Relations, an independently-owned PR agency, conducted a phone survey of 737 U.S. residents who considered themselves beer drinkers this week.

”It’s better to be safe than sorry,” a bar customer at a local Tampa bar told AC.

AC is currently investigating whether sales of the Toyota Corona have also declined.  Stay tuned!
