via Gallup:

A record-high 39% of Americans now say that consuming one to two drinks a day is bad for one’s health, marking an 11-percentage-point increase since 2018….

The increased belief that moderate alcohol consumption is detrimental is owed largely to young adults aged 18-34, among whom it has risen 18 points since 2018. That compares with a 13-point increase among middle-aged adults and virtually no change among those 55 and older….

More Americans than at any time in the past two decades now say drinking alcohol in moderation is bad for one’s health, and three in 10 view alcohol consumption in general as “very harmful.” Perceptions about the harm of moderate drinking have experienced the most growth among younger Americans. These changes align with recent global and U.S. research that challenges previous findings suggesting there are health benefits from moderate drinking.
