Beer closing in on cocktails?

This article reports that beer is making a big comeback and regaining some of the mind share lost to cocktails in the past few years.

As is usually the case with reports like this the data is inconclusive and everyone has their own interpretation.

I am not a cocktail snob but I am also not a huge beer lover. Each has its place in our daily drinking regime (everyone should map out their own daily drinking plan now).

The more spirits being consumed (responsibly) the better.

I will continue to hold high my cocktail glass.

Although, the wife and I do recommend the Heineken in the 7 oz bottles as an easy way to have your beer without filling up. We call them the mini-heines.
