Do many people see this as a bad thing?
too expensive to be an alcoholic these days
The other side of the coin :

Only prob is theres more people doing hard drugs than before.
Drinking culture was always bad.
If you need to be drunk to have fun are you even having fun.
For fucks sake guys – what’s going on here, letting the side down. You need to have a long hard look at yourselves, i mean i don’t even know who you even are anymore.
Were people not drinking like fishes in ’87? Before my time
u/cavedave is that weekly consumption? Or monthly? 9.4L per week is over 16 pints!!
The decline is stark but colloquially I would say the trend is bottoming. 2025 v 2024 seems quite flat with some pubs reportedly busier than 2024.
What is the dip in the early eighties?
Remind me why we have minimum unit pricing again? Ridiculous notion that punishes poorer people
High prices have definitely put people off drinking.
How do they account of tourists, and Irish people drinking abroad? Also Irish people buying drink abroad and bringing it home. At the moment, anybody going to the UK is buying 2 litres of vodka…
lads you gotta lock in wtf
I was wondering why it was significantly lower in the 60s and 70s then remembered only half the population were drinking much in those days.
Attitudes definitely changing towards alcohol and it’s good to see. It causes untold health and relationship damage in this country. The massive link with cancer is not promoted enough in our country because of the drinks lobby. Regular drinking hugely increases the chance of getting breast and other cancers.
Ethanol is a poison. People are drinking poison. If alcohol was invented today there’s absolutely no way it would be permitted.
When will it reach me?
High prices, more health conscious society, uptick in drug use probably the major three influences on this in my opinion.
When I switched from beer to liquor I told my doctor I was drinking less as well
And here I was thinking that men back in the 60s drank all their money every pay day.
It’d also be good to see a timeline on drink driving laws shown. I’m shocked to see how drinking habits rose so steadily in a period I honestly thought was in decline. Must be more based on population growth and wealth and not on percentage of income used for alcohol.
what’s with that 80s low?
were there no records before the 60s or did we just really hit the bottle when we joined the EEC
Love the way this is presented as a bad thing ‘ a long decline ‘ sounds so somber. “Where have all the pintmen gone?”
You had to be there

I’d call it a positive upwards trend of less drinking
It would be interesting to plot this against the median age of the population too.
Is it 9.4L per year, month what we talking about here
I remember frequently going to the pub 4 nights a week in the 2000s. Some weekends you’d be in the nightclub Friday and Saturday. The slow recovery pints on a Sunday were brilliant.
Don’t know how we did it at the time.
Drugs being cheaper and easily accessible is a massive factor here aswell, plus half the drinkers are out in Australia.
It starts to decline right about when gaming consoles became a mass market phenomenon and more popular.
Men saying ah I’ll skip the pints for tonight lads let me know how it went.
So I need to stop slacking!
Now do cocaine consumption
Well I started drinking around 1990 so that explains the rise. I got married in the year 2000 so that explains the decline….
Well, when its cheaper to do a few lines of coke for an evening then it is to drink that changes the drinking norms obviously.
That’s kind of crazy. I can legitimate say that my peak party days were *the* peak party days.
It was obviously just the perfect confluence of people having lots more money, but values around personal wellness and health hadn’t caught up yet.
Make alcohol great again /s
I don’t live in Ireland anymore but my current trend is to not drink at all for months at a time and then a Christmas or birthday appears and I’ll nail about 10 drinks a night for a few days in a row as I’m convincing myself to „make the most of it cos you don’t really drink anymore“ but it’s all the same over a year.
We’re slacking guys. Need to pick it up
We’re letting the side down lads

I will try keep this comment updated with improvements as people suggest them. This has per year and minimum pricing date added.
I was there for the peak as a 17 year old American tourist. Ooh boy it was something.
2000
The golden age of Irish drinking.
Those were great days.
Peering at your parents through a Carrols and John player induced smog , double fisting Cidonas until eventually the sugar high would render you and the other children’s presence in the bar untenable.
Short walk home with the parents then with a bag of chips and a burger heating your arms through the brown paper and a thick fleece.
