Description: Data for cities, communities, and City of Los Angeles Council Districts were generated using a small area estimation method which combined the survey data with population benchmark data (2022 population estimates for Los Angeles County) and neighborhood characteristics data (e.g., U.S. Census Bureau, 2017-2021 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates). This indicator is based on self-report and includes adults who had at least one drink of any alcoholic beverage (such as beer, wine, or liquor) in the past month.
In the US, alcohol use is legal for those ages 21 years and older and should be avoided or used in moderation (defined as consuming two or less drinks per day for men or one or less drinks per day for women). Excessive alcohol use includes binge drinking, heavy drinking, any underage alcohol use, and any alcohol use by pregnant persons. Alcohol use is associated with numerous health, safety, and social problems, including chronic diseases, unintentional injuries, interpersonal violence, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, alcohol use disorders, and weakened interpersonal relationships and ability to function at work, school, or home. In general, people with higher socioeconomic status (SES) report drinking more frequently and more heavily than those with lower SES; however, people with lower SES are on average more negatively affected by alcohol-related harms. It is important for cities and communities to build strategies that create environments that reduce excessive alcohol use and prevent underage drinking.
