A record low number of Americans are drinking, according to a new Gallup poll released this week. Just 54% of Americans said they consume alcohol at all.

Gallup, which started tracking Americans' alcohol habits more than 80 years ago, says the drop in drinking rates coincides with Americans' growing concerns that even moderate drinking is unhealthy.

"Or people curious in decreasing the amount of alcohol they drink." According to Gallup, which has tracked American drinking behavior since 1939, just 54% of adults self-reported using alcohol last year.
