Background Alcohol consumption is a significant cause of disease, death and social harm, and it clusters with smoking tobacco and an unhealthy diet. Using automatically registered retail data for research purposes is a novel approach, which is not subject to underreporting bias. Based on loyalty card data (LoCard) obtained by a major Finnish retailer holding a market share of 47%, we examined alcohol expenditure and their associations with food and tobacco expenditures. Methods The data consisted of 1,527,217 shopping events in 2016 among 13,274 loyalty card holders from southern Finland. A K -means cluster analysis was applied to group the shopping baskets according to their content of alcoholic beverages. The differences in the absolute and relative means of food and tobacco between the clusters were tested by linear mixed models with the loyalty card holder as the random factor. Results By far, the most common basket type contained no alcoholic beverages, followed by baskets containing a small number of beers or ciders. The expenditure on food increased along with the expenditure on alcoholic beverages. The foods most consistently associated with alcohol purchases were sausages, soft drinks and snacks. The expenditure on cigarettes relative to total basket price peaked in the mid-price alcohol baskets. Conclusion Clustering of unhealthy choices occurred on the level of individual shopping events. People who bought many alcoholic beverages did not trim their food budget. Automatically registered purchase data provide valuable insight into the health behaviours of individuals and the population.

“…Our data comes from a survey before the beer craft revolution in Europe that occurs in the last past years (Garavaglia & Swinnen, 2017). This revolution conducts therefore to treat anymore beer as a single and homogenous category (Malone & Lusk, 2018; Volpe et al, 2016). Future waves of the European Social Survey including the same version of this alcohol consumption module may help us to address this heterogeneity.…”

Following Pauline advice? A short note on moderate alcohol consumption and subjective well‐being in Europe

The relation between alcohol consumption and well‐being is a controversial issue. Although the deleterious effects of heavy alcohol consumption on health have been demonstrated, research found that moderate drinking may have positive effect on various dimensions of human capital. Our contribution to this debate is original. We provide new cross‐country evidence on the relation between alcohol consumption and well‐being controlling for a whole set of confounders. While binge drinking has an overall negative impact on well‐being, we also found a negative impact of complete abstinence. For drinkers, consumption of beer and wine have opposite effects: beer have a small but significant negative effect on well‐being but only in combination with binge drinking. The positive effect of the consumption of wine on subjective well‐being may be minimized or even ruled out by a higher frequency of binge drinking. [EconLit Citations: D12, I31, L66]

“…The beer industry has been the focus of countless market structure and pricing studies, for example, Hellerstein (2008) and Goldberg and Hellerstein (2013) on exchange rate pass-through; Alviarez, Head, and Mayer (2021) and Doan and Sercu (2021) on multinational mergers and acquisitions ;Miller, Sheu, and Weinberg (2021) on oligopolistic price leadership and mergers; and Anderson (2023), Elzinga (2011), Elzinga, Tremblay, andTremblay (2015), andMcCullough, Berning, andHanson (2019) on changing market structures. But until now, access to granular level of data on production and distribution of small breweries has either been proprietary, such as on-premise sales data collected by brewers, or comes at a hefty cost, such as primary collected data (e.g., Hart, 2018;Staples et al, 2020) or scanner-level data collected by companies like Nielsen and IRI (see Volpe et al, 2016;Rojas and Peterson, 2008;Burgdorf, 2019).…”

Using newly released public data on beer prices in the state of California, we construct a large dataset (approximately 2 million observations) that includes beer prices and packaging configurations. We merge this dataset with brewery attributes and county demographics to explore pricing differentials across California, the U.S.’s largest brewing state. We provide evidence of potential pricing-to-market conducted by macro breweries across the three-tier distribution system where craft breweries do not. In addition, we describe package attributes that exhibit price differentials across brewery types. We make the cleaned data available to the public and provide avenues for future research that may be addressed with this new data.
