Economy and Tiki - General Tiki

One side of me thinks that with many of those old businesses already suffering this is just the last nail in the coffin. The other side of me says that alchohol is a recession proof business (somewhat). People drink when they are happy... and they drink when they are distraught. Also reminds me of how frivolous a $150 mug seems when some households are struggling to make basic necessities lately. I searched for other discussions on this and didnt find any. I cant be the only one wondering?
