Weed is clearly superior (at lest for me)
Vaping is massive with them too.
Now show cbd/pot use.
They have to spend like 80% of their income on housing. The rest on groceries and bills.
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.
Ozempic and the like also affect impulse control (and a whole lot of other stuff, the health effect research is technically ongoing).
So if you're on it you don't feel the desire to snack, it helps you moderate yourself, and I guess it stands to reason it would lower the impulse to drink too.
Though I'm just guessing here, take this with a grain of salt.
Gen Y here, love Gen Zs. You got it, folks, keep resisting.
Because alcohol is bad for you?
Our parents were still told that a glass of wine a day was healthy.
Isn't it common for people to start consuming alcohol with age? I found it disgusting still at 20

When I was 19 I could barely scrape together $22 for a 30 rack of something cheap.
When I was 14 I had never tried alcohol. Obviously the 21-25 crowd might be expected to spend slightly more on alcohol (maybe?) than the 26-30 crowd. But like even if Gen Z isn't drinking (which I hear is true) I wouldn't expect them to spend a lot on booze, for a host of reasons.
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
They like the cheap shit. Generation MD.
The generation that won't answer their phone or door and that doesn't spend much time with friends. You don't say.
I'm surprised millennials didn't kick that habit. But it was bound to happen. Alcohol doesn't taste like something good at all.
I spent twenty bucks on alcohol in 2024. That was the first alcohol I had purchased since 2018. Gen X here.
Fellow GenX here. A bottle of Jameson's was $20 just 2 years ago. Now it's $30. I only ever buy it on mega sale. Can't really afford to drink it that often, so I save it for special occasions. $10 more may not sound like a lot to some but to me it's the cost of dinner for 2 nights.
Money
This is just because they don't get paid enough to afford it in the first place, so it never develops as a habit.
I'm wondering how this is calculated? Is the data tracked by IDs scanned and birthdays entered at registers?
