Introduction

Alcohol consumption has long been a quintessential part of celebration and merriment in several cultures around the world. From holidays to happy hour, alcohol has quite often proven to be an important factor for gathering with friends and family. As such, it’s not uncommon for a celebratory toast to be made with a glass of champagne or beer, as people toast one another for accomplishments or to mark special occasions. However, overindulging in alcohol can lead to several unpleasant consequences. Drinking too much can lead to impaired judgment, lack of coordination, slowed reaction times and difficulty concentrating. In addition, heavy drinking can increase the risk of developing certain types of cancer and liver cirrhosis. It is therefore important to drink responsibly and maintain moderation when consuming alcohol.

Alcohol Consumption in the US

Alcohol consumption is a joyful experience that is shared by many in the United States. It is an activity enjoyed by friends and family alike, often taking place during celebrations such as birthdays, holidays, or just an ordinary night out on the town. Americans consume alcohol for its flavor and for the pleasurable effects it can have on the body and mind. According to estimates from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, Americans consumed over 17 billion gallons of beer, wine and spirits in 2019 alone. With more than 11 million Americans being current drinkers of hard liquor, more than 23 million drinking wine regularly, and nearly 27 million drinking beer multiple times per month, alcohol consumption in America is certainly alive and well.

Excessive Alcohol Consumption

On the flip side, it has been estimated that an astounding 88,000 people die every year as a result of excessive alcohol consumption in the US, and according to the CDC, more than 38 million U.S. adults reported binge drinking an average of four times per month. Alcohol is also associated with a variety of other serious health risks, such as liver cirrhosis, high blood pressure, and certain types of cancer. Furthermore, excessive drinking can impair decision-making skills, contributes to violence and crime rates, and increases the risk of experiencing unintentional injuries or traffic accidents due to driving under the influence. Alcohol abuse is also known to damage personal relationships and lead to financial instability due to its negative impact on productivity and earning potential.
