From the end of Prohibition through the 1940s, alcohol consumption per person in the US grew. Between 1960 and the 1970s, there was even another surge. Consumption started to fall in 1980, was only partially reversed in 1990, and continued to decline until the mid-late 1990s (Maisto et al., 2014). There has been a little rise since then. Alcohol consumption rates are influenced by a variety of social and environmental factors, including gender, age, and racial or ethnic origin. The same is true for the prevalence of excessive drinking.
