In the 'burbs, my experience is that binge-drinking cheap alcohol is still very common.
I guess to Cliff's point that follows more or less the same pattern as cigarettes.

I was in a big outdoor party in Washington over the summer and one thing I noticed was that a lot of people down there drink those lower calorie spiked seltzers as there would be more of those than beer cans in the coolers. Hell I drank a bunch and they weren't that bad actually in a social setting. I think beer being associated with high carbs is probably a reason in younger people choosing to drink other types of alcoholic beverages.
