Interesting to see the largest increase in consumption is "beverages". As far as I can see the commentary completely ignores this, but I presume this includes alcohol?

If you look at the percentage breakdown it’s much more modest, so it appears to be an indication of how much the participants were already spending on alcohol. Also if you filter by “high income” beverage spending appears to switch to marijuana, and there the % breakdown remains high (no pun intended)
Alcohol is in separate category along with tobacco and marihuana and it spending on it increased the most in the most affluent group.
