Not sure about grabbing that beer? You’re not alone. Americans are reaching for alcohol at record lows, according to a new Gallup survey.
The survey, out Aug. 20, found the number of Americans who say they drink alcohol sits at 54% for the second consecutive year − and health concerns appear to be a major factor.
“Fifty-one percent of U.S. adults now believe drinking one or two alcoholic beverages a day is bad for one’s health,” the survey results noted. “The figure is essentially unchanged from last year’s record-high 53%.”
In 2001, only 27% considered moderate drinking bad for one’s health, according to Gallup.
Hey! It’s doing a lot better. I still have a headache but that’s to be expected. My neurologist called in some meds to help expedite recovery. I probably shouldn’t be on lemmy, but the boredom was making me anxious and I decided that I needed a lil screentime to distract myself
Glad to hear you are recovering! Being bored and wanting to go on Lemmy is so real. I do the whole “close Lemmy then re-open it in autopilot 2 minutes later” often 😭
