Sips Without the Spirits - All About Our Inclusive Drink Options!
~~~~ Key Stats ~~~~
1. Gen Z drinks significantly less than previous generations
About 20–30% of Gen Z adults report not drinking at all, a noticeable increase compared to Millennials at the same age.
Studies show Gen Z is the least likely generation to drink regularly.
2. Underage drinking has dropped dramatically
In the early 2000s, around 50% of teens reported "drinking alcohol in the past month".
Today, that number is closer to 20–25%, showing a major long-term decline.
3. Young adults are delaying alcohol use
People in their early 20s are starting to drink later in life than previous generations.
There’s been a steady rise in young adults choosing to abstain completely.
4. “Sober curious” movement is growing
A large portion of Gen Z and younger Millennials identify as “sober curious” or intentionally reducing alcohol.
Surveys show over 40% of Gen Z say they are actively trying to cut back on alcohol consumption.
5. Fewer young people see drinking as essential to socializing
Younger generations are more likely to say they don’t need alcohol to have fun or connect socially.
There’s a growing preference for experiences, wellness, and mental clarity over drinking culture.
6. Alcohol sales trends reflect the shift
Growth in non-alcoholic beverage markets has surged, with younger consumers driving demand.
Non-alcoholic beer, wine, and mocktails are one of the fastest-growing categories in the beverage industry.
So, Why This Shift Is Happening?
-- Health & wellness focus (mental health, fitness, sleep)
-- Social media awareness (less pressure to drink, more visibility of sober lifestyles)
-- Financial priorities (saving money vs. spending on drinks)
-- More options (better non-alcoholic drinks than ever before)
