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.

    I stopped drinking 3.5 years ago and it’s the worst decision I’ve ever made.

      Not drinking fuckin suuuuuuucks

      I look fantastic though. With zero exercise, I lost a shitton of weight, going from beeg belly back to xylophone ribcage. It’s like magic. My tits got smaller, my butt looks amazing.

      I miss every night being a blast :c
