U.S. Drinking Rate Hits Record Low as Coffee Becomes the Go-To Alternative

Why are so many people skipping cocktails and reaching for coffee instead?

New Gallup research shows U.S. alcohol use is at its lowest point since 1939 — and more Americans than ever see drinking as bad for their health. At the same time, specialty coffee, especially smooth low acid blends like those from Toomer’s Coffee Roasters, is becoming the go-to choice for people who want a healthier, more flavorful daily ritual.

Have you noticed how many people are skipping the after-work drink lately? You’re not imagining it. According to a brand-new Gallup poll, only 54% of U.S. adults now drink alcohol — that’s the lowest number since Gallup started asking the question back in 1939. Even more surprising? Over half of Americans now think that even “one or two drinks a day” is bad for your health.

That’s a big shift. And it’s especially true for younger adults. In the last two years alone, the percentage of 18–34-year-olds who drink has dropped by 9 points. Two-thirds of them say moderate drinking is harmful — which is almost double what it was in 2018. Clearly, people are rethinking their habits.

So… What’s replacing alcohol?

For a lot of people, the answer is simple: coffee. Not just any coffee, but really good coffee. Specialty coffee. Coffee you actually look forward to — the kind we roast here at Toomer’s Coffee Roasters.

Coffee still holds strong as America’s daily beverage ritual. The National Coffee Association says 66% of U.S. adults drink coffee every day, and a record 46% enjoyed specialty coffee just yesterday. That’s the highest it’s ever been.

Why Low Acid Coffee is Winning Hearts (and Stomachs)

Here’s where we’ve seen the biggest shift: people aren’t just drinking more coffee — they’re choosing coffee that’s better for them. That’s exactly why we focus on low acid, specialty-grade beans. Low acid coffee is gentler on your stomach and lets the true flavors of the bean shine through.

And we take it a step further with infrared roasting — a process that brings out rich, complex flavor without the bitterness or harsh aftertaste you sometimes get from traditional roasting. We’ve been doing this for 21 years, as a small, family-owned roaster, and we’ve seen firsthand how it can transform someone’s daily cup.

Coffee as the New Social Hour

The fun part? Coffee can be just as much of a social experience as grabbing drinks — without the hangover. Whether it’s an early morning pour-over at home, a latte with a friend, or a relaxed afternoon in your favorite café, coffee gives you that same sense of connection… just with a different buzz.
