U.S. ADULT DRINKING HITS RECORD LOW, GALLUP FINDS
Alcohol consumption among U.S. adults has fallen to its lowest level since Gallup began tracking in 1939, with 54% reporting they drink — down from 58% in 2024 and 62% in 2023, and below the previous record low of 55% in 1958.
Gallup’s annual survey found fewer Americans drink regularly: only 24% had a drink in the past day, and 40% went more than a week without — the highest share since 2000. Average weekly intake dropped to 2.8 drinks, the lowest since 1996

A Gallup poll conducted July 7–21, 2025, shows that only 54% of U.S. adults say they drink alcohol — the lowest figure in nearly 90 years. The decline is especially steep among women, dropping 11 points to 51%, and among men, falling 5 points to 57%.
For the first time, a majority of Americans (53%) believe that even moderate alcohol use is harmful. Drinking habits are also slowing, with just 24% reporting they had a drink in the past day, 40% going more than a week without one, and the national weekly average falling to 2.8 drinks — the lowest since tracking began in 1996.
