The consumption continued to increase until 2015, when whiskey dropped from about 310 to 165 gallons by 2020. Thereafter a sharp increase reaching 630 gallons by 2030 is expected. Conversely, the popularity of beer increased more slowly, reaching about 320 gallons by 2020. Beer consumption will increase slowly in popularity to reach a little less than 400 gallons per year by 2030.
