Consumer Perceptions of Alcoholic Beverages Study

This study is looking at how different marketing claims on alcoholic beverage packaging affect what people think about the drinks and if they would want to buy them. Researchers want to see if claims like "All natural flavors," "Zero sugar," or "Made with real fruit" change how you perceive beer, hard seltzer, or flavored malt beverages. You can join if you are an adult aged 21 or older, have had alcohol in the last year, and can complete a survey in English. The study aims to enroll about 1,500 people. The main goal is to measure your "openness to consume" (how willing you are to drink the product) at the beginning of the study.
