However, the peak in consumption was reached seven years later, when the nation of six and one-half million people drank over 18 million gallons of gin. And most was consumed by the small minority of the population then living in London and other cities; people in the countryside largely consumed beer, ale and <a href="/wiki/Cider" title="Cider">cider</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Hanson_21-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hanson-21"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>After its peak, gin consumption rapidly declined. From eighteen million gallons in 1743, it dropped to just over seven million gallons in 1751 and to less than two million by 1758, and generally declined to the end of the century. A number of factors appear to have converged to discourage consumption of gin. These include the production of higher quality beer of lower price, rising corn prices and taxes which eroded the price advantage of gin, a temporary ban on distilling, an increasing criticism of drunkenness, a newer standard of behavior that criticized coarseness and excess, increased <a href="/wiki/Tea" title="Tea">tea</a> and <a href="/wiki/Coffee" title="Coffee">coffee</a> consumption, an increase in <a href="/wiki/Piety" title="Piety">piety</a> and increasing <a href="/wiki/Industrialization" class="mw-redirect" title="Industrialization">industrialization</a> with a consequent emphasis on <a href="/wiki/Sobriety" title="Sobriety">sobriety</a> and labor efficiency.<sup id="cite_ref-Hanson_21-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hanson-21"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>While drunkenness was still an accepted part of life in the 18th century, the 19th century would bring a change in attitudes as a result of increasing industrialization and the need for a reliable and punctual work force.
