In order not to start an OT-M thread, let me outline my presumptions:

-Global Warming is a real and measurable phenomenon.
-The great mass of folks will have to change their behaviors, especially in regards to travel in regular consumption vehicles (a.k.a. primarily uses gasoline).
-Distribution of beer, wine, liquor and other good will have to be dramatically reduced as well, perhaps to a fraction of previous levels. This would affect all levels of distribution- international, national, regional and to some extent local.

With all of that being said- how much would your normal drinking habits change? Do you drink so much imported and out of region beer that the change would be dramatic? How often would you be able to visit your brewer, etc.? I’m sure you will all think of other great changes resulting from the above scenario.

Global warming? What is this, 6 years ago?

America is world leading (which in this case means worst in the world) in CO2-emissions per capita. Distribution of craft beer is probably not a big contribution to that.

I’d drink more imports while burning rubber tires and lounging on my polar bear rug.
