Americans started drinking more during endless COVID-19 lockdowns WashTimesOpEd
Well, let’s face it, many Americans were already guilty of enjoying a drink or two too many. According to the U.S. Dietary Guidelines, women can have one drink a day, while men can handle two drinks a day.
That was a 2.9% increase from the 2.44 gallons in 2020 and a 5.5% increase from the 2.38 gallons in 2019. And get this, folks: This is the biggest bump in two years since 1969. Now, let’s look at the big picture regionally. The Northeast saw a 5.4% surge, the Midwest had a modest 1.6% increase, the South boasted a 3.4% rise, and the West showed a more respectable 2.3% boost. Ah, the pandemic really brought people closer together … over drinks!In 2021, some states set themselves apart when it came to their love affair with alcohol. In 17 states and the District of Columbia, per capita annual alcohol consumption was more than 10% above the overall national level.
