@sarg-scharr.bsky.socialReposted by @abi-stevely.bsky.socialAre shoppers paying a premium for 0% beer?
While no/lo beer is 19% cheaper on the shelf, shoppers pay 7% more at the checkout. Our infographic explains why, and why it matters.

@abi-stevely.bsky.socialMulti-pack savings on regular-strength beer is part of the explanation for this - 53% of standard beers were sold in packs of eight or more cans or bottles, but all no/lo beers were sold in smaller packs.
@abi-stevely.bsky.socialNew study published in @addictionjournal.bsky.social this morning 🥳
We found that alcohol-free and low-alcohol beer is generally cheaper than regular-strength beer on the shelf. But at checkouts, people pay 7% more.
