The decline in alcohol sales in Slovak stores stopped this year. Sales fell 2% in 2022, 6% in 2023, and 3% last year, according to Jiří Štetina, head of Jägermeister CZ/SK. This year, sales are at last year’s level. Store sales (80% of consumption) have fallen 10% in four years, while sales in restaurants and pubs have fallen 15%. While overall sales are declining, premium drinks show growing demand. Young people are drinking less, and overall consumer demand is weak.
