Trace One just released new data showing Americans are continuing to drink less alcohol, with just 51.1% of adults reporting alcohol use—down from a peak of 56.7% just ten years prior. At the same time, interest in non-alcoholic beverages like NA beer and mocktails continues to surge, pointing to a broader shift in consumer habits and health awareness. The study uses data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to rank states based on the gap between their peak alcohol consumption and their current alcohol consumption.
