I don't know the statistics

A national campaign against drunken driving and underage drinking
pushed alcohol consumption to a historic low around 1995. In the
decades since, the figure has crept quietly back up. 

Americans are drinking more wine and hard liquor

Education and law-enforcement for DUI has played
a large role in this reduction

The minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) in the United States is 21 years
old. "The minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) in the United States was
18 in some [many]  states before 1984. However, Congress passed the
National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 to raise the MLDA to 21."

In two cities I'm aware of, the LEOs avoided the good old boy
establishments, and patrolled the working stiffs' turfs for DUIs.
