Not sure about grabbing that beer? You're not alone. Americans are reaching for alcohol at record lows, according to a new Gallup survey.
The survey, out Aug. 20, found the number of Americans who say they drink alcohol sits at 54% for the second consecutive year − and health concerns appear to be a major factor.
"Fifty-one percent of U.S. adults now believe drinking one or two alcoholic beverages a day is bad for one’s health," the survey results noted. "The figure is essentially unchanged from last year’s record-high 53%."
In 2001, only 27% considered moderate drinking bad for one’s health, according to Gallup.
Im curious about what that means to them. When im asked by my doctor I launch into this ramble about how I drink alcohol but by no means regularly. If im at a party (which I rarely am) that has drinks I might have one. Sometimes my wife and I will do something on a holiday like a few xmasses ago we picked up everything we needed to make traditional eggnog. The brandy ended up sitting forever though. When trump was elected I picked up a large bottle of vodka as I can't take his talks stone cold sobers. Still have tons left because I find I can't take him talking even a little tipsy.
