Adults of the appropriate age sometimes enjoy alcoholic beverages, which are a multi-billion dollar business. However, spending tends to be more pronounced in dining places, where people have been steadily charged more for libations.
Costs slowly increasing
"What America Spends On" is a series done by NPR that showed more Americans are spending increased amounts on alcohol in bars and dining places. This looked at the last thirty years comparing 1982 to today.
Only 24 percent of spending was on alcohol in dining places and bars in 1982 while the other 76 percent was spent in shops. This was during the Cold War when Americans were struggling through.
The price of diner and bar alcohol has increased 79 percent during that time while store costs have dropped 39 percent. This is essential because it shows why there was a shift in people spending more in dining places and bars now. Currently, only 60 percent is spent in stores with 40 percent spent in bars and restaurants.

Part of this change that the country faced included the fact that the country has seen changes in spending. For instance, in 2010, 16.2 percent of alcohol is spent on spirits while 39.7 percent was spent on wine. In 1982, only 16.2 percent was spent on wine, 34.6 percent was spent on spirits and 48.9 percent was on beer. Tastes have gotten much more costly.
Wine in America is all anyone seems to want. In 2011, France only shipped 320.6 million cases of wine while there were 329.7 million cases shipped in America, according to the San Francisco chronicle. Certainly more Americans are drinking American wine now.
In the U.S., Millennials are actually drinking more than the previous generation and have more expensive tastes. That is why the American wine industry saw massive increases in 2010 to become a $30 billion industry. Of the 241.8 million cases sent out from wineries that year, 61 percent came from California, making it the very best state for wine.
Most drink beer
Beer accounted for 47.7 percent of sales in 2012, which was almost no change from 2012, according to NPR. It is still the drink every person wants in the country. Overall, Americans are consuming less though, which is why overall beer production decreased from 1990's 204 million gallons to 2011's 192 million gallons, according to BusinessInsider.
Beer drinkers are slowly gravitating toward brews from Main Street instead of Wall Street, as craft breweries are proliferating. In 2011, an 11 percent growth of the number of craft breweries was recorded over 2010. There were 1,989 craft breweries in operation, with 250 new breweries opening and 37 closing. Craft brewers produced almost 11.5 million barrels, a 5.7 percent share of the market, and made $8.7 billion in revenue.
