Reports VinePair, America loves to drink. According to a report from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, Americans’ alcohol consumption reached 7.8 billion gallons in 2018. U.S. residents reportedly drank 6.3 billion gallons of beer, 900 million gallons of wine, and 570 million gallons of spirits. As a country, we drink an average of 2.35 gallons of alcohol per capita per year — which amounts to about 501 standard drinks annually.
Which state drinks the most per capita? Surprise! New Hampshire! And the least? No surprise. Utah.
But let’s remember that this isn’t a competition. Although, maybe it should be!
