## 美国酒精消费情况 - 2024 年快照最近，药物滥用和精神健康服务管理局的数据显示，酒精在美国仍然普遍存在，12 岁及以上年龄段的个人中，有 46.5% 的人在过去一个月内饮酒——略低于 2022 年。这相当于大约 1.34 亿人。然而，数据揭示了酒精使用之外令人担忧的趋势。超过 20% 的人口（5790 万人）参与了狂饮——一次性大量饮酒——这代表了所有饮酒者的一大比例（43.1%）。有 1450 万美国人被归类为重度饮酒者，每月有五天或更多天进行狂饮。这个群体虽然占总人口的 5%，但占所有狂饮者的四分之一，占所有定期饮酒者的十分之一，表明饮酒人群中存在集中风险。

In the U.S., alcohol consumption remains widespread, with nearly half the population aged 12 or older reporting that they consumed alcohol within the past month.

This visualization, via Visual Capitalist's Niccolo Conte, explores the scale of drinking behavior across America, including how many people drink, binge drink, or engage in heavier levels of alcohol use, using data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration as of 2024.

How Many Americans Drink Alcohol Regularly?

Out of the 288.8 million Americans aged 12 or older, 134 million (46.5%) reported drinking alcohol at least once in the past 30 days.

The data table below shows the number of regular alcohol drinkers in the U.S., along with binge drinkers and heavy drinkers.

Binge drinkers are defined as those who consumed five or more drinks (four for women) on one occasion, and heavy drinkers are those who engaged in binge drinking at least five times in the past 30 days.

Despite alcohol drinkers making up nearly half of the U.S. population of those aged 12 or older, the share in 2024 (46.5%) has declined slightly since 2022 when it was 48.7%.

The Number of Binge and Heavy Drinkers in the U.S.

Of the 134.3 million alcohol drinkers in the U.S., 57.9 million people engaged in binge drinking, which represents 20.1% of the total population and 43.1% of all alcohol users.

This reveals a significant overlap between casual use and occasional high-risk consumption, highlighting how binge drinking behavior is deeply embedded within the broader drinking population.

Heavy alcohol users—those who binge drink on at least five days in the past month—number 14.5 million in America. This represents 5% of the total population above 12 years old and 10.8% of alcohol users.

While this group is much smaller than the broader categories of alcohol and binge drinkers, heavy drinkers make up one quarter of all binge drinkers, and account for one in every 10 regular alcohol drinkers in the country.
