Delaware and New Hampshire lead the country in per capita spirits consumption, with each state averaging over four gallons of liquor per person annually.
That’s roughly equivalent to 20 standard 750 ml bottles of spirits per person each year. The average American consumes less than that, about 2.3 gallons of spirits each year, but the per capita total varies by state. Utah has the state with the lowest per capita consumption at 1.36 gallons, followed by West Virginia at 1.82.
