As a domain expert in consumer behavior and market research, I can provide you with an informed answer regarding the average consumption of beer in the United States. It's important to note that the data can vary based on the source and the year of the study. However, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), in 2020, the average person in the U.S. over the age of 14 consumed approximately 26.3 gallons of alcohol in total, which includes beer, wine, and spirits. If we were to isolate beer consumption, we would need more specific data, as the NIAAA does not break down the consumption by type of beverage.

To give you a rough estimate, if we consider that beer makes up a significant portion of the total alcohol consumption, and using the fact that the average American drinks about 26.3 gallons of alcohol per year, we can estimate that a considerable amount of that is beer. However, without specific data on beer alone, this remains an approximation.

Please remember that these figures are averages and individual consumption can vary widely.
