A narrow majority of Americans now believe even moderate consumption of alcohol negatively affects health, as US drinking levels continue to decline, according to a recent survey.The number of people who consider moderate consumption of alcohol -- up to one or two drinks per day -- to be bad for personal health rose to 53 percent in 2025.

Gallup, which started tracking Americans' alcohol habits more than 80 years ago, says the drop in drinking rates coincides with Americans' growing concerns that even moderate drinking is unhealthy.
