During this same time, the sheriff's office has initiated a new and well-funded campaign against the short-term dangers and long-term health risks caused by alcohol consumption. Therefore, the decrease in beer consumption has been caused by consumers' awareness of the dangers and risks of alcohol consumption.Which of the following, if true, most seriously calls into question the explanation above? On average, people in the town consume 30 percent less beer today than they did two years ago. Heavy beer drinkers may have withdrawal symptoms, such as anxiety, that create other difficulties in their lives. Sales of beer in different channels, such as in restaurants and in bars, have not all declined at the same rate.
