Fighting coronavirus with Corona — or other forms of alcohol? Looks that way.
Nielsen reports sales of booze in the U.S. rose 55% in the week ending March 21.
Among the biggest categories chosen by those trying to boost their spirits were spirits — with tequila, gin and pre-mixed cocktails leading the way.
Sales in those categories jumped 75% compared to the same period last year.
Wine sales are up 66% and beer sales foamed up 42%.
And it appears people are getting alcohol while practicing social distancing; Nielsen says online alcohol sales are up 243%.
