Congratulations residents of Massachusetts! You are the #1 state for wine drinkers in the country. I’m sure many of you will brag about this statistic to your friends as it seems wine is the most popular drink of choice for many. Many come home from a hard day’s work to have a glass, or two, or three of wine daily. Many can’t have a dinner with friends unless wine is involved. So this statistic comes to no surprise to us.
The website Toasttab.com has put together a list of the most popular alcohol by state. This list was gathered from the Q2 2023 Restaurant Trends Report which serves approximately 93,000 restaurant locations. Looking at the results in general, beer is the most popular alcohol in the country. The most popular spirit? Vodka…although tequila tops vodka in some states including Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah. Bottom line is, people love to shoot tequila down south and have wine at the beach.
For the rest of this study, we will take a look at which alcohol is the most popular in which state. When it comes to beer, vodka,

While liquors like hard seltzer and hard ciders are considered seasonal (hard seltzer in the summer months, hard cider in the fall) it seems that their trends are staying more solid year round so according to Toast Tab, restaurants may want to consider keeping them in stock for the long haul. Regardless of this list, we always love to hear from you with whether or not you agree with the results. You can message us and maybe there’s even a type of alcohol that wasn’t rated on this list that was missed. Here are the most popular alcohols by state and what we love here in Massachusetts.
