The National Center for Alcohol Statistics (NCAS) publishes alcohol statistics and data for the United States, sourced from NIAAA, SAMHSA, the CDC, and other authoritative agencies.
Our Mission
NCAS exists to make alcohol-related data accessible and understandable to everyone — researchers, journalists, educators, and anyone curious about how alcohol affects individuals and communities across the country.
What We Publish
Our fact sheets cover a wide range of topics, from per-capita consumption and binge drinking rates to the economic cost of alcohol abuse by state. We draw from government data and peer-reviewed research to present the numbers clearly and without editorializing.
