Brewing news Ireland: Alcohol consumption down in Ireland with beer accounting for 42.9% of the market

Alcohol consumption in Ireland is down by almost one-third in the past two decades, according to a study.

Average alcohol consumption continues to fall based on CSO population figures and Revenue alcohol clearance data.

Beer accounts for 42.9 per cent of the alcohol market in Ireland, according to the report authored by economist and associate professor emeritus at DCU Anthony Foley.

Overall, the long-term decline in alcohol consumption over the past two decades indicates that Irish adults are enjoying beer, wine and spirits more moderately and differently,” a Drinks Industry Group of Ireland spokesperson said.

The findings, published on August 19, also show that average per adult alcohol consumption has declined by 31 per cent since its 2001 peak.

While total alcohol consumption increased by 0.9 per cent in 2023 compared with 2022, the average per person decreased due to a 2.4 per cent increase in the adult population over the same period.

The report, commissioned by the Drinks Industry Group of Ireland (DIGI), shows that average per adult alcohol consumption decreased by 1.5 per cent.

This equates to 9.96 litres of pure alcohol last year as opposed to roughly 10.11 litres in 2022.

Beer is the most popular drink, making up 42.9 per cent of all consumption in 2023, and remains the highest despite a small decrease on 2022 beer consumption which stood at 43.5 per cent.

Wine is the second most popular at 28.3 per cent of all consumption in 2023, compared with 26.7 per cent in 2022.

Spirits rank as the third most popular drink with 22.6 per cent of the 2023 total consumption, a slight decrease on 2022 which stood at 23.2 per cent.

Cider accounted for 6.2 per cent of the 2023 total consumption, compared with 6.6 per cent in 2022.

A DIGI spokesperson said: “Overall, the long-term decline in alcohol consumption over the past two decades indicates that Irish adults are enjoying beer, wine and spirits more moderately and differently.”

The DIGI is calling for an excise tax cut of 15% over the next two years in the upcoming Budget, stating that Ireland’s rates are currently the second highest in the EU and UK.
