Considering half of Gen Z isn’t even legal drinking age yet, this isn’t too surprising.
Plus with declining birthrates in developed countries there are probably fewer overall Gen Z people than older cohorts. So even if they drank at the same rate you could still expect the absolute amount of alcohol consumption to be lower.
“Fading”, more like jumped off a cliff.
There is no safe amount of alcohol to drink.
Everyone is broke.
They watched their parents make asses of themselves while drunk, and today everyone has a video camera in their hand.
I think this sums it up
Other drugs are cheaper, and readily available.

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 but 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
That would be a reason for more alcohol
It’s because they can barely pay rent.
Yeah, poor people are notoriously sober
My alcohol consumption has dropped directly because of this. I use to get a six pack and a bottle of wine and go out a few times a month and now I literally can’t afford any of it.
Half of gen Z can’t legally drink and 75% of them are broke?
lol this thread not realizing it’s a shitpost, half of gen z have not make it to drinking age and this data could be years old
Have you seen the price of a beer now? Each night at the pub ends up being $100+
Bevlcause half of Gen Z is under 21 and the rest is broke?
This needs to be per capita, not total
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?
IDK Im an older millenial and pretty much stopped drinking a decade ago. Never had a problem, but I just got too busy going back to school and working full time. Then I started noticing how many people I knew who were using it as a crutch to get through the week. Others were amazed when I said I couldn’t remember the last time I drank. It just started to really turn me off drinking once I noticed how seemingly everyone had a terrible relationship with alcohol.
Now I drink again but not much. i buy a small box of wine to make a recipe every now and then and will drink the leftover glass or two. In the summer I feel a beer goes well with yard work but i buy a sixpack or two all summer and probably have leftovers come fall. Ocassionally I’ll go out and have a beer with people. All in all maybe $100-$200 a year but probably less
Many Gen Z are under 21
Gen Z refers to the demographic cohort born roughly between 1997 and 2012. So ages 13 to 28. Seven years of data is a fine enough sample set.
Now show cbd/pot use.
Well apparently smoking is making a comeback thanks to GenZ, if we have to believe the media.
I think they get their buzz from vaping
