Heineken warns of potential beer sales drop due to weight-loss drugs
- Heineken, the world's second largest brewer, has warned British pubs about a potential drop in beer sales.
- The warning is due to the increasing popularity of weight-loss drugs, particularly GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy.
- These drugs are believed to reduce the desire to drink alcohol, impacting beer and cider sales.
- Heineken shared this concern in a presentation to British hospitality customers earlier this month.
- The presentation highlighted the potential economic impact on the beer industry.
