This statistic shows the food and drink sales of bars and taverns in the United States from 2009 to 2017. Sales of U.S. bars and taverns were forecasted to rise to approximately 19.8 billion U.S. dollars in 2017.
Despite the health risks associated with drinking alcohol, it is consumed in large amounts worldwide. The average per capita pure alcohol consumption in the United States was 8.7 liters between 2008 and 2010, according to the World Health Organization. Belarus was the country with the second highest per capita alcohol consumption worldwide in 2016. Its population above the age of 15 years consumed 16.4 liters of pure alcohol per capita that year.
That said, recent statistics show that food and drink sales of snack and non-alcoholic beverage bars in the United States are much higher than those that serve alcohol. Food and drink sales of snack and non-alcoholic beverage bars have risen since 2009 and the National Restaurant Association projects that they will reach 38.4 billion U.S. dollars in 2016.
