US Alcohol Consumption vs US Cereal Yield
US Alcohol Consumption and US Cereal Yield correlate at r = +0.79 over 21 years (2000–2020), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -0.12. Likely spurious (shared time trend).
Verdict: Likely spurious (shared time trend). Both series mostly just trend over time. After removing that trend the correlation collapses to -0.12 — the relationship is probably coincidental, not causal.
