TY - JOUR PY - 1976// TI - Estimated U.S. alcoholic beverage consumption, 1790-1860 JO - Journal of studies on alcohol A1 - Rorabaugh, W. J. SP - 357 EP - 364 VL - 37 IS - 3 N2 - From 1790 to 1830 American consumption of alcoholic beverages generally rose, with an increased use of spirits, a high but declining consumption of hard cider, and a negligible intake of wine and beer. Intake of absolute alcohol peaked in 1830, at a rate twice that estimated for 1970. From 1830 to 1860 consumption fell sharply, but since 1860 consumption has fluctuated much less.
