Story summary

Despite record-low drinking rates among adults, Kendall Jenner's tequila brand 818 has become the fastest-growing tequila in the country. The brand recently received a minority investment from Sazerac, known for producing popular drinks like Fireball and Southern Comfort. According to industry data ending on September 5, 2026, 818 experienced double-digit growth over three years while overall alcohol consumption remained flat or declined. A Gallup poll found that only 54% of U.S. adults now report drinking alcohol, tying a record low set last year. Despite this trend, tequila and non-alcoholic drinks continue to perform well, with notable success for brands like Crazy Mountain, co-founded by celebrities such as George Clooney and Rande Gerber.
