Republicans Drop Booze Harder Than Their Approval Ratings
Just 54% of Americans now drink alcohol — the lowest mark in 86 years, driven mainly by a steep 19-point plunge among Republicans, from 65% in 2023 to just 46% in 2025. Gallup’s shocking poll notes 'an all-time high of 53%' of folks saying moderate drinking is unhealthy, with Republicans oddly less convinced it's bad for them (44%) than Democrats (58%). Trump’s teetotaling style might be rubbing off; the article reminds us he avoids alcohol 'due to the struggles of his late brother.' Meanwhile, Silicon Valley’s sober startup founders can finally say #NoBoozeNoBillion.

Tell me you’re Republican without telling me you’re Republican: ‘We’re cutting back on alcohol!’ Meanwhile, Trump’s family drama is the only buzzkill more vintage than their voter suppression tactics.
This is giving big 1930s Prohibition remix energy where Republican party planners are less about guns and more about ginger ale, all while wondering if sobriety means sober politics—spoiler: it doesn’t.
