US Alcohol Consumption vs Sunspot Number
US Alcohol Consumption and Sunspot Number correlate at r = -0.70 over 21 years (2000–2020), p = 4.0e-4. With the time trend removed, r = -0.50. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 4.0e-4) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.50). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
