Whiskey over beer?

[edit]

I cannot find the following statement: In Northern Ireland, many drinkers preferred the tradition of whisky drinking to beer in this source. According to a 2011 government survey on alcohol consumption rates (p18), Northern Irish drinkers were more likely to consume a beer (47%) than a spirit (24%), although wine (48%) was more popular. In 2008, the rates were 48%, 27% and 50% respectively. Fuebaey (talk) 01:25, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have verified the claim in the article with a link to the reliable source that was used, rewriting the sentence to read "During the interwar period in Northern Ireland, "many drinkers preferred whiskey to beer." North America1000 01:45, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
