11/08/2026 Update to: What Do I Say When Someone Gives Me A Drink 11/08/2026
And another Gallup update. The stat holds that only 54% of American adults are drinking.
Only 54% of U.S. Adults Drink Alcohol
Just to reiterate the last article written here.
YES, I KNOW, there haven’t been any new articles this year! GAWD MOM! We’re too busy helping people figure out behaviors they want to change in our Recovery Chat.
While facilitating a SMART Recovery meeting today, I brought this stat up, and someone mentioned there was an update to it. Since nowhere near enough of us are aware of this, I thought it would be good to drop the new article from Gallup here and give it a little love too.
People still bring up “what their friends will say” or “People will look at me funny” constantly in meetings. As I said in the last article, I was stressed about this too! It’s just… maybe we don’t need to worry about it so much.
So anyway… if you're a data nerd, there’s some 2026 data in there, so check out the new Gallup stuff. If you’re interested in what I said about these things, click on the last article below.
