US Alcohol Consumption vs US Electricity Generation
US Alcohol Consumption and US Electricity Generation correlate at r = +0.75 over 21 years (2000–2020), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.25. Likely spurious (shared time trend).
Verdict: Likely spurious (shared time trend). Both series mostly just trend over time. After removing that trend the correlation collapses to 0.25 — the relationship is probably coincidental, not causal.
