According to an article on aol.com:

"A recently released report has revealed what times during the year Americans are most likely to imbibe alcoholic beverages.

The study was conducted by BACtrack, a manufacturer of professional and personal breathalyzers, such as their Mobile Breathlyzer, a smartphone app that allows users to test their blood alcohol content levels with a Bluetooth connected pump and sensor.

During these months, a person is likely to drink on average five days a week.
