My point was that people would still buy drinks so you can't count every sale of some alcoholic beverage as an economic benefit and overall alcohol has a lot of economic downsides for society to the point where it would surprise me very much if the tiny little bit of extra people spend on alcohol compared to other drinks would make up for that.

That's why I was curious if someone would care to actually do some calculations, since I can speculate on that question just as good as you do.
