Alcohol consumption in Michigan is continuing to go up, driven by increases in liquor and wine sales.

Meanwhile, beer, the most popular alcoholic beverage, is still trending down.

The quantity of liquor and wine sold in Michigan each increased by 3 percent between 2015 and 2016, while beer sales dropped by 1.2 percent, according to the most recent data from the Michigan Liquor Control Commission.

In 2016, enough alcohol was sold in Michigan to supply every man, woman and child with an average of 8.3 drinks a week: Four 12-ounce beers, three 1.5-ounce shots of liquor, and a 6.3-ounce glass of wine.

That’s about 430 alcoholic drinks a year compared to 394 in 2007, a 9 percent increase, using per-capita estimates from the Liquor Control Commission’s most recent annual report.
