The AI discovery engine: How Drinks is transforming the digital consumer journey

24 min•20 maj 2026
Andy Lark has been a part of the Ecommerce evolution since its birth, building billion-dollar sites at companies like Dell and Sun Microsystems. Now working with Drinks, he is helping merchants navigate the complex world of regulated products by leveraging AI to predict consumer preferences and simplify compliance. 


This conversation moves beyond the technical hurdles of selling alcohol online to explore the fundamental psychology behind why people shop.


Andy introduces the 95/5 rule and explains why optimizing a basket for a customer who is already there does not solve the long-term scaling problem. The discussion covers how AI is shifting from a tool for operational efficiency to a primary engine for discovery in LLMs. By understanding the biological reality of human decision-making, Ecommerce leaders can better align their technology with actual consumer behavior.


What You’ll Learn
  • Why the 95/5 rule suggests your revenue problem is not just about the checkout basket.
  • How AI is beginning to intercept buying journeys before they ever reach a traditional search engine.
  • The technical and regulatory barriers that kept alcohol penetration in Ecommerce at only 10%.
  • How to use AI data graphs to predict the exact products and labels a specific demographic will respond to.
  • Why the better together proposition is essential for increasing purchase frequency.
  • The psychological reasons behind why consumers make irrational, non-price-driven purchases.
  • How legacy industries like alcohol are moving from traditional distribution to D2C models.
  • The future of regulated products in Ecommerce beyond just alcohol.
