Drinks marketers 'spurn over-25s'
Alcohol marketers have been accused by an influential market report of ignoring the wealthy 'midlifer' group of 25- to 45-year-old consumers in favour of continuing to view young adults as the key target market, despite concerns about binge drinking.
The report from Datamonitor, 'Insights into Tomorrow's Over-25s
Alcoholic Drinks Consumers', claims midlifers account for 42%, or
$95.2bn (£52.7bn), of the $226bn (£128.7bn)
market and have greater personal wealth than the over-18s.

However, the majority of drinks marketing continues to be aimed at young
adults through music event sponsorship and celebrity endorsement.
