Thrive Market is officially going dry.

The online health and grocery marketplace will become the first major online grocer to remove all alcohol products when it takes them off its subscription service. The company plans to replace the category entirely with a lineup of over 20 brands and 100 products spanning non-alcoholic beer, wine and mocktails.

“It’s time to really double down on non-alcohol and take a stand that is aligned with where science and where we think attitudes among health and wellness consumers is shifting,” Thrive CEO Nick Green told CNBC. “Alcohol is not the future.”

The company said the move reflects shifting consumer preferences and the growing popularity of “Dry January,” when people abstain from drinking as the new year begins. Thrive first entered the wine market seven years ago because it saw an opportunity to “raise health standards in the category,” according to Green, but in recent years has seen the category’s decline as a reason to exit.

“What surprised me is how fast that shift has seemed to happen with alcohol,” said Green. “There’s a whole attitude shift, kind of paradigm shift, in the way alcohol is viewed similar frankly, to tobacco where I think that at one time smoking was very socially acceptable.”

A recent Gallup report found only 54% of U.S. adults now consume alcohol, one of the lowest levels in decades. Meantime, the latest Nielsen beer scanner data shows U.S. beer volumes have been falling by a mid-single digit percentage year over year since June.

Research firm Bernstein said the data underscore a deeper consumer pivot away from traditional beer, especially as drinkers explore everything from spirits-based ready-to-drink cocktails to non-alcoholic alternatives.

It’s becoming clearer that we are seeing a broad-based reduction in US alcohol consumption,” said Bernstein analyst Nadine Sarwat in a recent research note.

At the same time, the non-alcoholic drinks sector is booming, with sales projected to reach $5 billion by 2028, according to alcohol data firm IWSR. More brands like AB InBev, Molson Coors and Heineken have entered the market.

Thrive said its own data mirrors the national shift, too. Searches for non-alcoholic options on ThriveMarket.com have climbed steadily and accelerated over the last three months.

Thrive, a CNBC Disruptor 50 company in both 2024 and 2025, has more than 1.7 million paying members nationwide and brought in over $700 million in sales last year. As its average shopper loads up on 15 items per basket, the company is betting a growing share of those items will be alcohol-free.

“People aren’t shopping on Thrive Market the way they might shop on Amazon, where they order one thing and it ships separately,” said Green. “People are getting big boxes of stuff, they’re looking to us for their pantry staples similar to what businesses like Costco see.”

The company also cites logistics as motivation for the move. While alcohol can ship to only 39 states, most non-alcoholic beverages can ship across all of the U.S.

“People are basically trading to a healthier alternative,” said Green. “We can focus on being that place that they go for innovation.”

Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts?

The post Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In recent crypto news, Stephen Miran swore in as the latest Federal Reserve governor on September 16, 2025, slipping into the board’s last open spot right before the Federal Open Market Committee kicks off its two-day rate discussion. Traders are betting heavily on a 25-basis-point trim, which would bring the federal funds rate down to 4.00%-4.25%, based on CME FedWatch Tool figures from September 15, 2025. Miran, who’s been Trump’s top economic advisor and a supporter of his trade ideas, joins a seven-member board where just three governors come from Democratic picks, according to the Fed’s records updated that same day. Crypto News: Miran’s Background and Quick Path to Confirmation The Senate greenlit Miran on September 15, 2025, with a tight 48-47 vote, following his nomination on September 2, 2025, as per a recent crypto news update. His stint runs only until January 31, 2026, stepping in for Adriana D. Kugler, who stepped down in August 2025 for reasons not made public. Miran earned his economics Ph.D. from Harvard and worked at the Treasury back in Trump’s first go-around. Afterward, he moved to Hudson Bay Capital Management as an economist, then looped back to the White House in December 2024 to head the Council of Economic Advisers. There, he helped craft Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” approach, aimed at fixing trade gaps with China and the EU. He wouldn’t quit his White House gig, which irked Senator Elizabeth Warren at the September 7, 2025, confirmation hearings. That limited time frame means Miran gets to cast a vote straight away at the FOMC session starting September 16, 2025. The full board now features Chair Jerome H. Powell (Trump pick, term ends 2026), Vice Chair Philip N. Jefferson (Biden, to 2036), and folks like Lisa D. Cook (Biden, to 2028) and Michael S. Barr…
