TwitterIn 2024, it was estimated that nearly 59 percent of those aged 26 to 29 years in the United States were current alcohol drinkers, the highest rate of all age groups. Those aged 21 to 25 had the highest rates of binge alcohol use. Although the legal age to consume alcohol in the United States is 21, around 27.2 percent of those aged 18 to 20 years were already current alcohol users. Binge drinking in the United States Binge drinking is commonly defined as consuming five or more alcoholic drinks on one occasion for men and four or more drinks for women. Binge drinking is most common among adults in their 20s, and more common among Hispanics and Whites than other races or ethnicities. The states with the highest prevalence of binge drinking are North Dakota, Montana, and Iowa, while Alabama has the lowest prevalence of binge drinking of all U.S. states. In 2022, almost 22 percent of the population of North Dakota binge drank in the past 30 days, with the overall prevalence rate in the United States around 17 percent at that time. High school alcohol use Although alcohol use among teens remains a problem, the annual prevalence of alcohol use among those in grades 8, 10, and 12 has decreased dramatically over the past two decades. In 2023, it was estimated that a combined total of 30 percent of those in grades 8, 10, and 12 had used alcohol in the past year. In comparison, the annual prevalence rate of alcohol use among these grades was just over 67 percent in the year 1991. The 30-day prevalence of alcohol use for these grades has also decreased significantly. In 1991, around 40 percent of those in grades 8, 10, and 12 used alcohol in the past month, while in 2023 this rate dropped to just 14.3 percent.

TwitterPer capita alcohol consumption in the United States has increased in the past couple of decades to reach **** gallons of ethanol per capita in 2021. Beer has accounted for the largest share of the alcohol market in the United States over most of the last decade, but was overtaken by spirits for the first time in 2022. Health risks Constant and excessive alcohol use has been shown to cause many health complications and increase the risk of many diseases. For example, alcohol consumption increases the risk of various types of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and liver disease. From 2017 to 2021, the rate of new alcohol-associated cancers in the United States was around *** per 100,000 population. Liver cirrhosis A common health complication from the abuse of alcohol is liver cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is scarring of the liver from repeated injury. It can cause other health complications such as high blood pressure, bleeding, and infection, and can result in early death if left untreated. In 2019, there were over ****** alcohol-related liver cirrhosis deaths in the United States, almost double the number reported 15 years earlier.

Alcohol has historically, and continues to, hold an important role in social engagement and bonding for many. Social drinking or moderate alcohol consumption for many is pleasurable.
However, alcohol consumption – especially in excess – is linked to a number of negative outcomes: as a risk factor for diseases and health impacts, crime, road incidents, and, for some, alcohol dependence.
This topic page looks at the data on global patterns of alcohol consumption, patterns of drinking, beverage types, the prevalence of alcoholism, and consequences, including crime, mortality, and road incidents.

Alcohol consumption across the world today This interactive map shows the annual average alcohol consumption of alcohol, expressed per person aged 15 years or older. To account for the differences in alcohol content of different alcoholic drinks (e.g., beer, wine, spirits), this is reported in liters of pure alcohol per year.
To make this average more understandable, we can express it in bottles of wine. Wine contains around 12% pure alcohol per volume1 so that one liter of wine contains 0.12 liters of pure alcohol. So, a value of 6 liters of pure alcohol per person per year is equivalent to 50 bottles of wine per year.
As the map shows, the average per capita alcohol consumption varies widely globally.
We see large geographical differences: Alcohol consumption across North Africa and the Middle East is particularly low — in many countries, close to zero. At the upper end of the scale, alcohol intake across Europe is higher.
Share of adults who drink alcohol This interactive map shows the share of adults who drink alcohol. This is given as the share of adults aged 15 years and older who have drunk alcohol within the previous year.
In many countries, the majority of adults drink some alcohol. Across Europe, for example, more than two-thirds do in most countries.
Again, the prevalence of drinking across North Africa and the Middle East is notably lower than elsewhere. Typically, 5 to 10 percent of adults across these regions drank in the preceding year, and in a number of countries, this was below 5 percent.
Alcohol consumption by sex When we look at gender differences, we see that in all countries, men are more likely to drink than women.
Data on the share who drink alcohol by gender and age group in the UK is available here.
Heavy drinking sessions Alcohol consumption – whilst a risk factor for a number of health outcomes – typically has the greatest negative impacts when consumed within heavy sessions.
This pattern of drinking is often termed 'binging,' where individuals consume large amounts of alcohol within a single session versus small quantities more frequently.
Heavy episodic drinking is defined as the proportion of adult drinkers who have had at least 60 grams or more of pure alcohol on at least one occasion in the past 30 days. An intake of 60 grams of pure alcohol is approximately equal to 6 standard alcoholic drinks.
The map shows heavy drinkers – those who had an episode of heavy drinking in the previous 30 days – as a share of total drinkers (i.e., those who have drunk less than one alcoholic drink in the last 12 months are excluded).
The comparison of this map with the previous maps makes clear that heavy drinking is not necessarily most common in the same countries where alcohol consumption is most common.
Data on the prevalence of binge drinking by age and gender in the UK can be found here, and trends in heavy and binge drinking in the USA can be found here.
Share of adults who don't drink alcohol Global trends on alcohol abstinence show a mirror image of drinking prevalence data. This is shown in the charts as the share of adults who had not drunk in the prior year and those who have never drunk alcohol.
Here, we see particularly high levels of alcohol abstinence across North Africa and the Middle East. In most countries in this region, the majority of adults have never drunk alcohol.

TwitterAlcohol consumption among the US public is at a relatively similar rate in the 21st century as it was in the nineteenth. The first drop in consumption appeared in the 1860s and 1870s, due to the American Civil War and the period of economic recovery that followed. After this, consumption rose again until the First World War, before it fell from 9.7 liters per person per year in 1915 to 7.4 in 1919. Following the war, the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution came into effect, which prohibited the importation, manufacturing and sale (but not consumption) of alcohol. From this point until Prohibition's end, there are no reliable figures regarding alcohol consumption in the US, however some sources suggest that consumption fell to thirty percent of its pre-prohibition levels in the first few years, but then grew to sixty or seventy percent by prohibition's end.
High spirits in the 70s and 80s
Total consumption then grew again in the 1930s and 40s, reaching 8.7 liters per person in 1946, before it plateaued at around 7.6 liters per person per year in the 1950s. Alcohol consumption then increased gradually to more than ten liters per person per year in the 1970s and 1980s, which was the highest rate of alcohol consumption in recorded US history. It then dropped to just over eight liters in the late 1990s, and gradually increased again to 8.9 liters per person in 2013, which is similar to figures recorded more than 160 years previously.
Beer moves a-head
The late 1800s also saw a major shift in the type of alcohol consumed. In 1850, 7.1 out of the eight liters consumed was through spirits, while beer and wine made up 0.5 and 0.3 liters respectively. However, by the turn of the twentieth century, alcohol was most commonly consumed through beer, and excluding a brief increase in spirits consumption in the 1960s, beer has been the most common source of alcohol since 1900. Alcohol from wine consumption has also gradually increased throughout US history, reaching its highest point in 2013, where the average US citizen consumed 1.6 liters of alcohol per year by drinking wine.

TwitterThis collection focuses on how changes in the legal drinking age affect the number of fatal motor vehicle accidents and crime rates. The principal investigators identified three areas of study. First, they looked at blood alcohol content of drivers involved in fatal accidents in relation to changes in the drinking age. Second, they looked at how arrest rates correlated with changes in the drinking age. Finally, they looked at the relationship between blood alcohol content and arrest rates. In this context, the investigators used the percentage of drivers killed in fatal automobile accidents who had positive blood alcohol content as an indicator of drinking in the population. Arrests were used as a measure of crime, and arrest rates per capita were used to create comparability across states and over time. Arrests for certain crimes as a proportion of all arrests were used for other analyses to compensate for trends that affect the probability of arrests in general. This collection contains three parts. Variables in the Federal Bureau of Investigation Crime Data file (Part 1) include the state and year to which the data apply, the type of crime, and the sex and age category of those arrested for crimes. A single arrest is the unit of analysis for this file. Information in the Population Data file (Part 2) includes population counts for the number of individuals within each of seven age categories, as well as the number in the total population. There is also a figure for the number of individuals covered by the reporting police agencies from which data were gathered. The individual is the unit of analysis. The Fatal Accident Data file (Part 3) includes six variables: the FIPS code for the state, year of accident, and the sex, age group, and blood alcohol content of the individual killed. The final variable in each record is a count of the number of drivers killed in fatal motor vehicle accidents for that state and year who fit into the given sex, age, and blood alcohol content grouping. A driver killed in a fatal accident is the unit of analysis.

According to our latest research, the global low alcohol beverage market size reached USD 1.02 billion in 2024, reflecting robust expansion driven by shifting consumer preferences and increased demand for healthier alternatives to traditional alcoholic drinks. With a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7% from 2025 to 2033, the market is forecasted to attain a valuation of USD 1.85 billion by 2033. This growth is primarily spurred by evolving lifestyle trends, the rising popularity of mindful drinking, and the increasing influence of health and wellness movements globally.
A primary growth factor for the low alcohol beverage market is the significant shift in consumer behavior towards healthier lifestyle choices. As consumers become more health-conscious, there is an evident decline in the consumption of high-alcohol-content beverages, with many opting for drinks that offer the social and sensory experience of alcohol but with fewer calories and lower alcohol by volume (ABV). This trend is particularly pronounced among millennials and Generation Z, who are driving demand for innovative, flavorful, and low-calorie options. The proliferation of wellness-focused marketing campaigns and the rising incidence of alcohol-related health concerns have further accelerated this shift, prompting beverage manufacturers to expand their portfolios with low alcohol alternatives across beer, wine, ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails, and ciders.
Another crucial driver is the surge in product innovation and diversification within the low alcohol beverage market. Beverage companies are investing heavily in research and development to introduce new flavors, sophisticated packaging, and functional ingredients such as botanicals, adaptogens, and vitamins. These innovations not only cater to the palate of modern consumers but also address their desire for beverages that align with holistic wellness trends. The emergence of craft and artisanal low alcohol beverages, along with the entry of premium brands, has elevated the market's appeal, attracting both traditional alcohol consumers and those seeking alternatives to soft drinks or non-alcoholic beverages. This continuous stream of product launches and collaborations between beverage companies and health-focused brands is expected to sustain market momentum throughout the forecast period.
The growing acceptance of low alcohol beverages is also being facilitated by supportive regulatory frameworks and the relaxation of alcohol advertising restrictions in several regions. Governments and health organizations are increasingly recognizing the public health benefits of promoting lower ABV products as part of responsible drinking initiatives. This has led to favorable labeling regulations, tax incentives, and marketing support for low alcohol products, particularly in mature markets such as Europe and North America. Additionally, the rise of e-commerce and direct-to-consumer sales channels has improved product accessibility, enabling consumers to explore a broader range of low alcohol options from the comfort of their homes. These regulatory and distributional advancements are helping to break down barriers to entry and drive the global expansion of the low alcohol beverage market.
Regionally, Europe dominates the low alcohol beverage market, accounting for the largest share in 2024, followed by North America and Asia Pacific. The European market is characterized by a mature consumer base, strong regulatory support, and a well-established culture of moderate alcohol consumption. In contrast, the Asia Pacific region is witnessing the fastest growth, fueled by urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and increasing awareness of health and wellness. North America continues to be a significant market, with the United States and Canada embracing the mindful drinking trend and witnessing a surge in demand for innovative low alcohol products. Latin America and the Middle East & Africa are emerging as promising markets, supported by youthful populations and evolving drinking patterns, although they currently represent a smaller share of the global market.
The low alcohol beverage market is segmented by product type into beer, wine, ready-to-drink (RTDs), cider, spirits, and others. Among these, low alcohol beer holds the largest share, benefiting from its established presence in major markets and its broad appeal across age grou

Key Drivers for Alcohol Market
Premiumization and the growing popularity of craft beverages
Consumers are increasingly seeking out new experiences and are willing to play more for high-quality, craft or premium beverages, with diverse styles, innovative brewing techniques and unique flavors. Social media platforms are playing a significant role in promoting craft and premium alcohol brands, increasing consumer awareness and interest. The rise in microbreweries offering unique artisanal flavors and the rise of tourism and experiential consumption are attracting enthusiasts globally.
For instance, India is an emerging market in the craft beer segment with approximately 300 microbreweries active at present. There is a significant rise in craft beer demand, particularly in metropolitan cities like Bengaluru, Pune, Mumbai and Delhi. The number is expected to triple by 2030.
Growing Social Drinking Culture Among Young People: Millennials and Generation Z are shaping consumption trends through social events, nightlife, and travel experiences. Alcoholic beverages, particularly ready-to-drink (RTD) and flavored options, are increasingly marketed as lifestyle accessories.
Key Restraints for Alcohol Market
Strict government regulations in the beer industry pose a challenge
The global alcohol market faces several restraints. Government regulations and restrictions is one such restraint that adversely affects the growth of the market by limiting advertising, restricting sales and impacting consumer behavior. Governments across many regions restrict the advertising of alcohol, given the concerns about public health and addiction. Such restrictions limit the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, making it harder for alcohol brands to reach consumers.
For instance, the alcohol industry in India operates within one of the most complex regulatory frameworks in the world. Regulations vary from state to state, making the sector a challenging arena for alcohol brands This makes it difficult to move production between states and navigate different tax structures and duties.
Some regions, like the Middle East have strict laws which limits alcohol consumption and drives demand for non-alcoholic alternatives instead.
Health Awareness and Lifestyle Shifts: An increasing awareness of the health risks associated with alcohol—such as liver disease, mental health issues, and addiction—is resulting in decreased consumption among certain demographics. The sober-curious trend and the rise of non-alcoholic alternatives are also exerting pressure on alcohol sales.
Supply Chain Disruptions and Raw Material Volatility: The alcohol sector is susceptible to variations in the availability of essential ingredients such as barley, grapes, hops, and sugarcane. Factors like climate change, geopolitical tensions, and transportation delays impact production schedules and cost frameworks.
Key Trends for Alcohol Market
Increase in No- and Low-Alcohol Options: Consumers pursuing moderation are propelling the expansion of alcohol-free beers, wines, and spirits. These offerings provide comparable flavors and branding while minimizing health risks, establishing a significant segment in both retail and on-premise markets.
Digital Sales Platforms and Direct-to-Consumer Approaches: E-commerce sites and alcohol delivery applications are revolutionizing the way beverages are delivered to consumers. Direct-to-consumer strategies facilitate tailored marketing, subscription services, and wider accessibility, particularly during spikes in off-premise consumption.

TwitterIn 2024, it was estimated that nearly 59 percent of those aged 26 to 29 years in the United States were current alcohol drinkers, the highest rate of all age groups. Those aged 21 to 25 had the highest rates of binge alcohol use. Although the legal age to consume alcohol in the United States is 21, around 27.2 percent of those aged 18 to 20 years were already current alcohol users. Binge drinking in the United States Binge drinking is commonly defined as consuming five or more alcoholic drinks on one occasion for men and four or more drinks for women. Binge drinking is most common among adults in their 20s, and more common among Hispanics and Whites than other races or ethnicities. The states with the highest prevalence of binge drinking are North Dakota, Montana, and Iowa, while Alabama has the lowest prevalence of binge drinking of all U.S. states. In 2022, almost 22 percent of the population of North Dakota binge drank in the past 30 days, with the overall prevalence rate in the United States around 17 percent at that time. High school alcohol use Although alcohol use among teens remains a problem, the annual prevalence of alcohol use among those in grades 8, 10, and 12 has decreased dramatically over the past two decades. In 2023, it was estimated that a combined total of 30 percent of those in grades 8, 10, and 12 had used alcohol in the past year. In comparison, the annual prevalence rate of alcohol use among these grades was just over 67 percent in the year 1991. The 30-day prevalence of alcohol use for these grades has also decreased significantly. In 1991, around 40 percent of those in grades 8, 10, and 12 used alcohol in the past month, while in 2023 this rate dropped to just 14.3 percent.
