Chart of the Day: Alcohol Attitudes

Crews Bank & Trust Wealth Management Services Sep 2, 2025
Line graph illustrating attitudinal changes regarding alcohol consumption from 2000 to present.

Contents

Today’s Chart of the Day is from the San Francisco Chronicle with a Gallup poll showing that since 2000, attitudes about alcohol consumption have changed significantly.
 
The percentage of people who think that drinking is "good for your health" went from 22% to a new low of 6%. Conversely, people who think "drinking is bad" went from 27% to 53%.
 
The article goes on to say that people are taking to heart the research that shows alcohol is, in fact, bad for your health. As a result of this change in thinking, wine and beer consumption is now at 30-year and 60-year low respectively, and the steepest declines come from the younger Millennial and Gen Z demographics.
