Legendary investor Mario Gabelli has long been a fan of stocks in the booze industry.

Earlier this week, he shared why he continues to be bullish on booze during an exclusive webinar with Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough.

“In 1955 there were 2.8 billion people in the world. Now there are 7.5 billion and 3 billion of those people are in India and China,” Gabelli says in the clip above. “As far as I can tell, the Chinese like to gamble and drink and the Indians are the same way, as opposed to other parts of the world.”

Gabelli also shares his thoughts on a newer (and somewhat controversial) industry: marijuana stocks.
