一句话看懂
Gallup poll finds 54% of U.S. adults drink alcohol, matching record low. Drinking habits shift as health concerns and nonalcoholic options grow.
背景
Gallup's annual Consumption Habits survey, conducted in July 2026, shows that the share of American adults who drink alcohol remains at a record low of 54% for the second consecutive year, the lowest since 1939. The decline has been sharp since 2022, when 67% drank, and is evident across most demographic groups, though Democrats' drinking has barely changed. Awareness of health research on alcohol is high, and nonalcoholic beverage substitution is increasing.
