While most Americans (54%) still use alcohol, the rate of drinking is the lowest on record since 1939.
It is largely inspired by the changing perceptions of the use of alcohol. Not only the majority (53%) individuals believe that alcohol is poor for your health, but this belief is held even more strongly between young (66%).

The highest average number since the Galp has tracked that it is 5.1 drinks per week, which was recorded in 2003.
