Interactive and Static Plots for Alcohol Consumption in High Income Countries from 1890 to 2014
These are the R packages that I will use to read and plot the data
Read the data in from Part I
Start with consumption THEN
Use mutate to paste Year as a character and round Ounces to 1 decimal place THEN
Use group_by to group by Country THEN
Use e_charts to select Year as the object on the x-axis THEN
Use e_line to add a line to the variable Ounces
legend to FALSE to remove legend from plotUse e-tooltip to add a tooltip that will display based on axis values THEN
Use e_title to add a title, subtitle and link to subtitle
Use e_theme to change the theme to dark-fresh-cut
consumption %>%
mutate(Ounces = round(Ounces, 1),
Year = paste(Year, sep = "-")) %>%
group_by(Country) %>%
e_charts(x = Year) %>%
e_line(serie = Ounces, legend = FALSE) %>%
e_tooltip(trigger = "axis") %>%
e_title(text = "Alcohol Consumption from 1890 to 2014 for High Income Countries",
subtext = "In Ounces, Source: Our World in Data",
sublink = "https://ourworldindata.org/alcohol-consumption",
left = "center") %>%
e_theme("dark-fresh-cut")
This graph displays the alcohol consumption per capita for High Income Countries from 1890 to 2014 in Ounces.
Start with consumption THEN
Use filter to extract data from The United States THEN
Use ggplot to create a plot with data THEN
Use geom_point to add points
assign Year to the x-axis
assing Ounces to the y-axis
Add a line with geom_smooth
assign Year to the x-axis
assing Ounces to the y-axis
Use labs to:
set subtitle to Alcohol Consumption for The United States in Ounces from 1890 to 2014
set x and y to NULL so the x and y axis won’t be labeled
Use theme_test() to set the theme
consumption %>%
filter(Country == "United States") %>%
ggplot() +
geom_point(aes(x = Year, y = Ounces)) +
geom_smooth(aes(x = Year, y = Ounces)) +
labs(subtitle = "Alcohol Consumption for The United States in Ounces from 1890 to 2014", x = NULL, y = NULL)+
theme_test()

Alcohol consumption in The United States of America has been steadily increasing by a few ounces year over year since 1890. Data from 1920 does not exist due to Prohibition.
