The given graph depicts the alcohol consumption among the U.S. population based on their age categories. Four major classifications are illustrated in the chart. The measurement is analyzed using the percentage of drinking.
Overall, the data reveals that alcohol usage in the U.S. population is reaching its peak level from the age of 16. Although consumption is at a higher rate, the quantity of ex-drinkers gradually increases above the age of 65.
As presented in the graph, heavy drinkers are always above 90 percent at the ages of 16 to 24 and 65 to 74. Moreover, the value of non-drinking people is almost around 60 percent up to 44 years old. The most significant figure is the person who has crossed 35 years old and is engaged in alcohol consumption until they cross 54 years of their life journey.
On the other hand, the essential factor is that the level of light drinking gradually decreases during the various stages of life. The most significant observation is that due to the side effects of life and diseases, people after the age of 60 have reduced their spirit, which steadily increases the value of ex-drinkers, providing a good message to the younger generation.
