GEN Z IS DRINKING LESS THAN PREVIOUS GENERATIONS: Drinking isn’t cool, according to Gen Z! Gallup data found that adults between 18 and 34 have been steadily drinking less since 2001. Americans 55 and up are actually drinking more. The data came from polls on drinking habits taken between 2001 and 2003, 2011 and 2013, and 2021 and 2023. Those in-between, from ages 35 and 54, self-reported drinking more than Gen Z and Boomers. Why are younger people drinking less? Experts say an increase in marijuana use could be to blame.
