The past couple of years have been…difficult to say the least. Since the beginning of 2020, it has felt especially challenging to cope with the barrage of unfortunate news that bombards us on every news feed and media outlet.
There are numerous studies and reports about drinking trends in the United States, but they tend to cover a lot of the same questions around general consumption. In fact, a quick Google search will show you just how much these reports center around the words “binge drinking”, “excessive drinking” and “alcoholism”.
