The beer industry is still very profitable and the projections are that it will remain so. In the United States this year, the total amount of beer sold by breweries has increased, even though the number of adults who drink beer has decreased.
Each of the following, if true, could explain the simultaneous increase in beer sales and decrease in the number of adults who drink beer EXCEPT:
a. During this year, the number of women who have begun to drink beer is greater than the number of men who have quit drinking beer.
b. The number of underage people who have begun to drink beer is greater than the number of adults who have quit drinking beer during the same period.
c. During this year, the number of nondrinkers who have begun to drink beer is greater than the number of people who have quit drinking beer.
d. The people who have continued to drink beer consume more beer per person than they have in the past.
e. More of the beer made in the United States this year was exported to other countries than was the case last year.
