“ESPECIALLY if there are about 2000 competing alternatives to my product.”

And your customers have ZERO switching costs. With many products, there are huge switching costs (e.g., the chargers and batteries for your power tools or your preferred computer ecosystem). But a mass-marketed commodity product has zero switching costs. You just toss a competing product in the cart and continue using the same bottle opener, glassware, recycle bin and toilet you already have at home. No expensive retraining required.

"...Make your own alcohol...."

.

About 30 years ago I brewed my own beer / ale using Coopers malt extract.
It was a bit of work but well worth it -
since it was the BEST I ever drank - hands down.

The stuff is from Australia.

I'm still trying to figure out how it's holding on to 70 % + of its former sales numbers. Must be a lot of contracts that distributors and end locations (bars/restaurants) can't get out of. But still, that "drop to" number seems high.

I watched a beer truck guy unload and deliver beer to a C-store while gassing up. Coors Lite, several Miller products, Modelo - but no BUD anything.

Different brands have different distributors so a truck carrying Coors wouldn't carry Bud, for example.

Well someone must be drinking it as our local grocery got in a fresh shipment. They keep it hidden behind the Bush and Miller Lite beers.

Probably buying it because the price is down. Last time I had a BUD was 11 years ago, Yankee Stadium in NYC.
