The two line graphs illustrate information about the percentage of people who smoke and consume alcohol in 1,000 millilitres in chosen countries from 1960 to 2000.

The consumption for Americans increased steadily at 10 till 1980 and exhibited a gradual reduction, having 8 in 2000. Turkey, on the other hand, had generally plateaued during the given period.
