Beyond the city’s lucrative entertainment industry, Houston easily tops the list for total alcohol sales because it’s the most populated city in the state. The city boasts 2,296,224 residents, while Dallas claims just 1,300,092 and Austin 931,830; more people translates to more overall booze sales.
According to Houston Statistics, Dallas and Austin residents both spend more money on alcohol per person than Houston. In fact, they found Houstonians reportedly spend $20 less on alcohol per month than the national average.

Fun fact: Galveston ranked #1.
