The often sweet taste of RTD sub-category, combined with attractive packaging, has led critics to charge that the drinks are appealing to underage youth—as well as young drinkers of a legal age who may be prone to consume them in excess. However, in an effort to minimize under‐age binge drinking he Federal government substantially increased the excise tax by 70% on RTD’s in April 2008. This price increase has lead to a significant decline in the sales revenue of the RTD sub‐category as a whole, and this decline is underpinned by the departure of the highly profitable 18‐30 year old ‘aspirational drinker’ adult market segment. So, we need to think out new strategy to get the losing market back.

Specifically, in international markets, we should consider like civil conflict, governmental changes and restrictions concerning the ability to relocate capital.
