Methodology
Scholaroo's data team gathered information from official public data displaying the alcohol price index in all 50 states. This index serves as a representative of alcohol in general, including beer, wine, liquor, and seltzers. The Beer Index and Wine Index are specifically represented separately from any other type of alcohol.
With this data, we were able to determine the changes in prices for different types of alcohol over the years.
