Americans are drinking less alcohol, with middle-aged people consuming about one-third less than 50 years ago, researchers report.
Overall, Americans are drinking less beer, but more wine, while consumption of hard liquor has remained fairly constant. Also, more people say they don't drink, and those born later in the 20th century are more moderate drinkers than their parents.
"It looks like moderate drinking has been increasing, heavy drinking is down a little bit, and total alcohol consumption is down a little bit,"
No wonder people think they have lost their mojo, they are drinking less.
