Thrive Market just became the first major online grocer to drop alcohol completely, and the internet is cheering… but the business case isn’t what it seems.

In this episode, we break down the real reasons behind the move, what the data actually says about drinking trends, and why households, not individuals, tell the true story.

We cover:

  • Why “54% of adults drink alcohol” is the wrong metric for retailers
  • The hidden logistics + regulatory friction behind alcohol shipping
  • How Thrive’s branding strategy earns attention, even if the business case is thin
  • The one customer-insight mistake we see companies make again and again

A fascinating look at strategy, consumer behavior, and the storytelling behind business decisions.
