Alcohol Consumption Up 70% Since 1990

This means that the average adult consumes one alcoholic beverage per day. Now think about all the non-drinkers out there. It sure seems like the drinkers are making up for their lack of effort.

According to their estimates, half the world’s adults will be drinkers by the year 2030 and at least a quarter of them will binge drink once a month.

It appears I’ll be in good company.
