          The Ever-Increasing Craze for Bars

Hard seltzers exploded onto the scene in the summer of 2019, and sales have been increasing since then. The popularity of the beverage containing carbonated water, alcohol, and flavoring, is attributed to the intersection of a couple of different consumer trends. Products with low ABV (alcohol by volume) are the favorite of the customers who prioritize a healthy lifestyle but are still willing to enjoy an alcoholic beverage. Spiked seltzers hover around 4.5% to 5% ABV, which puts them in straight competition with light beer. Having a low alcohol percentage, these are also low in calories. Hard seltzer products like White Claw or Truly Hard Seltzer have a clear advantage of increased demand for canned alcoholic beverages. Cans not only means beer anymore.

The Drinking Culture in America

 The American population, drinking at least once in a year, increased by 11 percent. High-risk drinking, i.e., having four or more beverages per day at least once a week for women and five or more for men, had a considerable rise by 30 percent. Alcohol disorders, where’ drinking is directly interfering with everyday lives and they find it difficult to call a halt, increased by almost 50 percent. The women section was the one that faced the biggest increase in terms of population. High-risk consumption rose to alarming proportions by 60 percent among them and alcohol disorders to 84 percent. It was found out that adults aged 65 and above have seen a notable increase in alcohol consumption, with high-risk drinking rising as high by 65 percent and alcohol disorders bounced around 107 percent. The reason for such an increase is the humungous population of drinkers in the country.

 Most Preferred Drinks of Americans

Beer remains the hot favorite adult beverage for Americans. It was followed by wine for a long time, while liquor was lagging. This scenario has changed to a great extent in the past year. According to a new Gallup poll, the number of people who were once preferring liquor as their first adult beverage choice has started giving up on wine. This surely comes as a piece of bad news for the wine industry. The United States is still the largest consumer of wine in the world. The total revenue for wine sales in the United States jumped over$14 billion in 2018.

The preference for the liquor has grown over the past years. In its new poll Gallup reports that "Twenty-nine percent of drinkers consider liquor as their choice. The figure has increased from 19% a year ago although similar to the 26% who said so in 2017. Despite the lower percentage last year, the trend still prefers liquor. The average percentage of the people preferring liquor has increased from 19% in the 1990s to 21% in the early 2000s to 23% over the past five years." The preference for wine, with a slight decrease, is at 30%, down from 35% in recent years. The survey was done among Americans aged 18 years and older.

Happy Hours Vs. Rest of the Day

It is a no-brainer, the big positive of the happy hours are discounted food and drinks. The biggest minus is, though you're no longer stuck in your cubicle, you're now stuck in a bar with many people of not so good gentry. A "happy hour” is never just an hour. It is usually practiced between 5 and 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, though, in some areas and bars, it stretches from as early as 4 to as late as 8. Once the happy hours are over and the responsible adults have to head home to the family and children, and early bedtimes. It’s a gala time for the youngsters. The drinks for which you had been paying $4 for suddenly skyrocket to $9. Happy hours in Midtown are

pretty famous in America, because of the pocket-friendly food and drinks.

The Conclusion

The drinking rules in the US are very strict in the US pertaining to the drinking age. One should be a minimum of 21 years to visit a bar and have a drink or two. Persons under the age of 30 will be asked for a valid identification proof. Most American photo ID cards specify the date of birth. It is considered as a criminal offense to use false identification as an age proof. This proves the point that drinking laws are very strict in the USA, but there is still no significant reduction in drinking in America.

It is considered as a royal thing to indulge in alcohol. In 2014 the wine, beer, and spirits industries spent a combined $23.6 million on federal lobbying efforts, which is adding to the $2.05 billion they spent on advertising. The alcohol culture is firmly in relation to how the professional sports, milestones like graduations, weddings and birthdays and in how we relax and unwind. Until we change our beliefs and rewrite how we choose to celebrate, to relax, to socialize and live – we’re going to have a ruler who is anything but just.
