Decline in Alcohol Consumption: A Gallup poll indicates that only 54% of American adults drink alcohol, the lowest since 1939, with consumption nearly halving over the past two decades due to health concerns.

Health Risks and Warnings: Increased awareness of alcohol's health risks, including cancer, has contributed to this decline, especially following a report from former U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy advocating for warning labels on alcoholic beverages.

Impact on Alcohol Companies: Major alcohol brands like Molson Coors and Constellation Brands have experienced significant sales declines, reminiscent of the early decline of tobacco companies as public perception shifted regarding health dangers.

Shift to Low-Alcohol Options: In response, alcohol companies are diversifying their offerings to include low-alcohol and non-alcoholic products, with Anheuser-Busch reporting a 33% increase in non-alcoholic beer sales, indicating a potential long-term cultural shift in drinking habits.
