Percentage of Americans who say they drink alcohol hits record low, Gallup says.

The percentage of Americans who say they drink has fallen to a record low, according to a new Gallup poll.

This year, only 54% of Americans said they drink alcohol, said the analytics company, which has tracked Americans' drinking habits since 1939.

That's one percentage point under the previous record low in 1958.

"For quite some time, there's been this heavy focus on [the effects of] heavy drinking or binge drinking," she said.

In the recent Gallup survey, only 50% of Americans from ages 18 to 34 reported drinking alcohol, compared to 56% of people 35 and up.
