Bottoms up! POLL
More Americans than ever are hitting the hard stuff, drinking booze such as bourbon and vodka as opposed to wine and beer, according to a new Gallup survey released Monday.
The number of drinkers preferring hard liquor — 31% — is the highest figure ever recorded in Gallup’s tracking of booze preferences of US adults since asking the question in 1993, besting for the first time the 29% of Americans who drink wine.
Beer still remains the most popular alcoholic beverage, with 37% of drinkers saying they consume suds most often — but hard liquor is helping to close the gap.
