Have we hit peak booze? Alcohol consumption declining but is it permanent? Consumption of beer peaked in 2016. Wine has been falling since 1979. Interestingly, we have been spending more on alcohol while consuming less of it, opting for expensive cocktails and higher end booze. https://archive.is/20250506113318/https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2025-04-20/peak-booze-alcohol-consumption-may-be-in-terminal-decline#selection-3251.0-3251.69

I hope it has; this notorious chart by /psychedelics OG Prof. Dr. Nutt says it all. My wife @ruthveda.eth and I have been sober for 5 years and never missed it a sec. So far my teenager is (gladly) not interested in the left side of this chart...;-)
