That's interesting, but the ban didn't go into effect this time last year, did it?
A smoking ban might be one piece, but people can drink in their homes as well - I'm not sure why this would result in a 50% drop for a distributor, and it doesn't pass the smell test. However, a flatlining economy may very well result in a severe shortage of entertainment dollars, not to mention the market share Miller and A/B are losing to craft brews and other alcoholic beverages . . .
It's likely much more complex than a smoking ban.
