Beer rules: Public opinion on tap here
by Mark Silva
Sing along now:
"I like beer,
"It makes me a jolly good fellow...''
Four in ten of those surveyed prefer suds.
That's among the nearly two-thirds of Americans who say they are known to drink on occasion. On average, they've had 4.8 alcoholic drinks during the past week(right, it was that eight-tenths that did it.)
The annual drinking survey served up by the Gallup Poll, -finally, a poll that makes no mention of any partisan divide, or any Republican or Democratic opinion whatsoeverhas found that, among the 64 percent who say they drink some, 40 percent preferred beer, 34 percent wine, 21 percent liquor.

College graduates are more likely to name wine than beer.
We've got a couple of degrees under our own (38-inch) belt, however, and we're here to tell you that, despite an unquenchable taste for a good Cabernet or Barolo....
"This little refrain,
Will help me explain,
As a matter of fact, I like beer.''
