Alcohol consumption in the US has plummeted to levels not seen in nearly a century. According to a recent Gallup poll, drinking rates are currently at their lowest point since 1939.

While the data suggests that these rates are beginning to stabilise after several years of decline, the overall trend shows a significant shift in habits. The findings, highlighted by Food Dive, indicate a long-term move away from alcohol across the population.
