They estimate that Americans drank 6.3 billion gallons of beer in 2018.

So clearly, a popular beverage, worldwide.

While I don't think it's at all necessary to prove that beer is popular worldwide (that's very obvious common knowledge, after all), I should point out that that statistic does not prove such a point. Beer consumption in America does nothing to demonstrate its worldwide popularity, and citing the amount of beer Americans drank indicates nothing about its popularity within America unless you also cite the amount of other alcoholic beverages consumed for comparison. There's also room to argue that, if you really want to make that comparison properly, you should be adjusting those figures based on average ABV to better reflect Americans' favourite choice for the purposes of getting drunk (though that might not be entirely reasonable because that figure includes people drinking for taste as well).
