” think this is going to be the year where people just say, these are the worst stocks, the alcohol stocks. Brown-Forman’s very, very badly. Can they bounce back? I don’t know. This is when you get GLP-1 and it’s going to be in pill form from Eli Lilly, there actually maybe another leg down for alcohol.
