From the article
Overall exports of American spirits fell 9% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to a year ago, according to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States.

The most dramatic decrease came in U.S. spirits exports to Canada, which fell 85% in the April-through-June quarter

I would have no idea why there is a decrease in exports of American Spirits. I feel bad for all those workers losing their jobs right before Christmas.

Its a fantastic collective effort.

Drinking so much that a country as powerful as USA is brought to its knees when you stop.

Absolutely proud of you heroes.

Glad I don’t drink the shit. It saved me from an ugly girl once. I was a senior in college and this ugly girl was always trying to get with me. I had a party and she showed up-one of the only times I ever drank this shit and I was sitting on the steps to the porch of our cabin and she grabbed my crotch and I threw up all over my legs. I think it was a defense mechanism

he ran them into a wall. just like all of his business, including not just one but three casinos. how exactly does a successful businessman go about doing that, taking something that literally prints money and finding a way to bankrupt it? fucking genius. this guy can identify a giraffe.

Jim Beam is shit anyway. It’s doing Bourbon drinkers a favor

I tell all young men coming of age that they need to bang at least one ugly girl. They bang like they have something to prove. Puts the zero effort pretty girl into perspective.

I only ever drank it in the 3 Kings, Jack, Jim Beam, and Johnny Walker

I'd expect a good businessman to know tariffs would wreck many American companies.

Jim Beam? No thanks

I don't drink bourbon. Only Pabst blue ribbon!

 

[ricc505]

Trump put tariffs on Bourbon exports? He's gone to far this time!

Jim beam is ok because I won't pay top shelf for all day drinking.
