More Money, More Beer? Does a higher state per capita income equate to a higher per capita beer consumption? From the document Survey of Current Business, published by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, and from the Brewer’s Almanac, published by the Beer Institute, we obtained data on personal income per capita, in thousands of dollars, and per capita beer consumption, in gallons, for the 50 states and Washington, D.C. Those data are provided on the WeissStats site.
