The States That Drink the Most Beer in America [Map] - VinePair

American reportedly drinks about 6.3 billion gallons of beer every year. But which states drink the most? According to data from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, beer consumption per capita varies significantly by state and region.

Midwesterners drink more beer than those in other regions, while Northeasterners drink the least. However, New Hampshire residents drink by far the most beer per capita of any state — likely due to the state’s unique lack of tax on alcohol. Meanwhile, Utah unsurprisingly drinks the least amount of beer per capita, as the predominantly Mormon state largely abstains from alcohol.

VinePair’s color-coded maps show these and other results of American beer consumption in 2018.

THE STATES THAT DRINK THE MOST BEER PER CAPITA

After New Hampshire, the states that claim the most beer drinking per capita are Montana, Vermont, and North Dakota.

THE STATES THAT DRINK THE MOST BEER OVERALL

Unsurprisingly, highly populated states such as California, Texas, and Florida top the list of states drinking the most beer overall — with Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New York trailing behind.
