Yeah but how was the data collected? At bars and pubs? The cost of alcohol has always been pricey but its been very expensive for gen z. We had pre-drinks before going out and then didnt spend much at the pub coz we were already on a few things. Im in my 30s now and i still do predrinks before going somewhere or i just dont drink coz im not paying $20 for a shot of gin with some tonic water
I'm surprised millennials didn't kick that habit. But it was bound to happen. Alcohol doesn't taste like something good at all.
The generation that won't answer their phone or door and that doesn't spend much time with friends. You don't say.
Most Gen Z-ers can't legally buy alcohol yet.
And illegal consumption doesn't make it into the statistic.
I hate to break it to you but the oldest of gen z start turning 30 next year...
Isn't the legal drinking age in the US 35 or something like that?
57 actually. That's why the numbers are so high for boomers and Gen x, we have to get them to buy the booze for us.
Cries in 39 year old Millennial
Oh that's my favourite spot in the stall! Thank you, friend!
They have to buy the booze cuz you're even poorer than them
That's cause I spend all my money on avocado toast.
What about the youngest? I never know where cut off is.
Bingo. Yet another example of an age effect being attributed to a generational difference. I’m so tired of these horoscope-like characterizations of people
Legitimately I think it's because Gen Z and below are horribly anxious and not very social. We really fucked these kids' confidence over at every opportunity and now we're wondering why they're not going out to parties and stuff and why they're not really dating.
Half of gen Z can't legally drink and 75% of them are broke?
They wouldn't be broke if they weren't such lazy moochers and worked real jobs!
^/s^ ^just^ ^in^ ^case^
Weed is clearly superior (at lest for me)
Vaping is massive with them too.
Bevlcause half of Gen Z is under 21 and the rest is broke?
Nobody has healthcare, housing is unaffordable, we pay for everything with our tax dollars but all the profits go to corrupt pedofiles, Peter Thiel and Larry Ellison are turning the country into a mass surveillance prison for us to live in, there’s no laws for the rich, the earth is dying because the pedofile class doesn’t give a fuck about anything except doing as much evil as possible, there’s a genocide going on and 95% of American politicians are giving away unlimited amounts of our tax dollars to fund it and for the genocidal country to have universal healthcare and free college and a $400 monthly payment per child, the same politicians want to make it illegal to talk about or boycott Israel for their crimes, Trump has the nuclear codes, a secret police force is disappearing people and shooting people who are exercising their first amendment rights women’s rights are being stripped away and a lot of the boys and men are cheering…..I could go on and on the reason is there’s nothing to celebrate
In Germany, we have the word "schönsaufen", which means something along the line of "drinking until something or someone ugly looks pretty" and I think that's beautiful.
what about chocolate, and smiling more. Have you tried those?
smh
Gen Z here. Tastes like shit
Drinking is so ingrained in human culture that people often get into it because of social pressure.
That's why it's given special treatment in comparison with drugs like weed, even though it's more dangerous.
I actually rather like the taste. Although it's certainly an acquired taste. Like salminak
Likely you haven't had anything that doesn't taste like shit.
I had, until I tasted alcohol. You'd think something that ruins lives would at last had a taste that justified it.
There's this neat life hack where you drink enough and forget all about the taste - and most of the previous night, to boot!
I don't actually drink though, tastes like shit.
tastes more like hand sanitizer, but I like the taste of hand sanitizer so I'll drink it, but it's also too expensive
Because alcohol is bad for you?
Our parents were still told that a glass of wine a day was healthy.
tiktok and youtube thats why. that pretty much is the new alcohol. Also things GLP-1, omezpic, and WEGOVY also is a threat to alcohol industry.

Why? Do thin people not drink?
Because people don't have unlimited money, I guess.
Can't speak for them Zoomers in the US, but my guess would be that Corona is responsible for the sharp decline. Most of GenZ reached drinking age around that time and boozing alone is by far not as fun as in a group.
I suspect it has to do with what their primary activities are. Perhaps they're spending less time in groups and more time isolated, communicating digitally.
Why spend on alcohol when I can buy more books, games, travel the world or join a sports club instead of damaging my own body and end up paying more with hospital bills later in life?
Because we're broke
@Mickey7 I’m biased because the shit has nearly killed loved ones and 90% of many personal experiences under the influence badly. I also learned that Putin eliminated social reforms in Russia so that he could sell his vodka and control the population better. Organizers had worked hard for those reforms to curb death rates. “Consumption” is a cute way of saying death by alcohol. Big alcohol can fuck off and I hope they go bankrupt. The sooner the better.
