Fewer Americans are drinking alcohol these days, and if they do, they do so with far less frequency. The numbers are quite impressive. A Gallup poll found that only 54% of Americans report drinking alcohol, compared to 62% in 2023. Only 24% say that they’ve had a drink in the past 24 hours and 40% say that their last drink was more than a week ago. Average intake is 2.8 drinks per week, down from 3.8 last year. Why the change? Many say it’s because alcohol is bad for you—which it is—but I suspect there’s another factor: it makes you feel  the next day, and that  feeling only gets worse with age. Just when they tell us that Americans have no willpower! Go us! The post Americans Cut Back on Booze appeared first on Redacted.
