Our initial search found very little data that narrows down alcohol consumption in the United States by region AND demographic. Based on these findings we expect to triangulate the data through several sources to narrow down the exact cities for each demographic. We suggest continuing research to identify what the top 5 cities are in the United States for alcohol consumption in women and the LGBT community. For each demographic, we would also provide an overview of the most popular drinks for each demographic (beer, wine, spirits, etc.).
In addition, we could provide an overview of drinking in the United States as a whole. This would include drinking demographics (age, race, gender) and the most popular drinks per demographic.
