The Best Sin Stock for Your Portfolio

In today's video, Tamara looks at the bull market in beer and liquor. Shares of Diageo (NYS: DEO) , which is the producer of Jonnie Walker and Bushmills, popped this week on news that the company plans to invest $1.5 billion to boost production of its popular scotch and whiskey brands. She'll explain why she's giving the stock an "outperform" rating on her profile in Motley Fool CAPS.

Meanwhile, industry peers Beam (NYS: BEAM) and beer king Anheuser-Busch (NYS: BUD) offer alternative ways to play the alcohol space.
