Young Adults in U.S. Drinking Less Than in Prior Decades
Adults aged 18 to 34 are less likely to say they drink alcohol than were young adults in prior decades, while drinking is up among those 55 and older.
LanternEverywhere, By itself that's neither good news or bad news. And it could just as easily be the result of bad changes in society rather than good.
Pons_Aelius, And it could be the result of bad changes in society rather than good.
Yep. My first thought was, "Well, opioid usage could be the cause of that." and second was "or they could be so broke that drinking is out of the question".
espentan, That was my first thought as well. You buy less wine when you can barely afford bread.
flossdaily, I wonder if this is related to weed becoming legal.
CADmonkey, Exactly my first thought. Weed typically allows one to be more functional than alcohol, and one doesn’t wake up dehydrated and nauseous afterwards.
