The graph gives information about drinking habits of the US population by age. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The given bar chart compares what percentage of each age group has drinking habits among the population of the United States. As shown there, most of the
people
in every category are never drinkers.
Getting back to the details, the total percentages of never-drinking people
vary between 50 and 65 per cent in any age except elderly people
, whose ages are above 65 years
old. But only 44 per cent of them have never drunk. Ex-drinkers among people
between 16 and 54 years
are under 10 per cent of the population, whereas
in other groups like 55-64 and 65-74, this
amount can be reached at 22% and 43% respectively. People
who drink much represent over 10 % of the ages of 35 to 54. But the other 4 groups under 34 and over 55 have only 4-8% heavy-drinking people
. Light drinkers are 25% of the population of the first group: 16-24 agers, but starting after 25 years
, the proportion of this
category is slightly decreasing from 32% to 9%, and becoming as less as elderly.
By cause of the given information, it is possible to make it clear that after 65 years
, the never drank people
’s amount is probably equal to the number of people
who have ceased drinkingSubmitted by berlinastanalll on
