Is there any reason at all to believe these numbers?

Where I live <10% don't drink, 0% drink once a week, 70% >14 times a week and 20% are the hardcore ones

Alcohol is promoted in many films/tv and even on the news. It is more than just for the business. The Ranch promotes alcoholism and subtle Liberalism to Middle America. In every single scene the characters are drinking non-stop yet they don't promote any brands specifically, just drinking in general. Even in the morning, while working, sitting on the porch, everywhere. The show is a psy-op for sure and I don't trust any of the creators or actors involved.

Watched a video of an old Russian professor saying the same thing about soviet films.

They want to create a culture of easily controllable addicts.

Does the 30% who never drink include children? So many ways to distort statistics.

What if:

  • The 30% includes children

  • The 60% includes the 30% (Looks like it does sorry if that is obvious)

I can easily believe the 10% number though.

I found this article on slate that seems to back up OP's infographic. But it supposedly comes from a 2001 book and I couldn't find anything in the article about what age range was sampled.

Edit: The data came from a National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism paper. I'm not sure what they mean by this "oversampling at the household level," stuff, but it seems like they're only looking at people who are 18 and up. It does say they oversampled the 18-24 range... but are they doing that to account for non-participation or what?

NESARC oversampled Blacks and Hispanics at the design phase of the survey, increasing the representation of Black households from 12.3 percent to 19.1 percent and the representation of Hispanic households from 12.5 percent to 19.3 percent. In addition, NESARC oversampled young adults ages 18–24 at the household level at a rate of 2.25 to 1. Again, one sample adult was randomly selected for interview in each household.

The NESARC sample was weighted to adjust for nonresponse at the household and person levels, the selection of one person per household, and oversampling of young adults, Hispanics, and Blacks. Once weighted, the data were adjusted to be representative of the U.S. population for various sociodemographic variables, including region, age, sex, race, and ethnicity, based on the 2000 Decennial Census.
