| Something I've never seen in these analyses is drinking. Millennials are heavy drinkers. Both craft brews and cocktails were defining generational traits. Not everyone is a drinker but it appears they are heavy drinkers compared to other generations. The theory behind the ultra marathoners is that extreme distance running disrupts the epithelial layer and microbiome in the gut. Wouldn't drinking have similar effects? |

| > Millennials are heavy drinkers. That's news to millenials and the graveyard of craft breweries. I thought alcohol consumption is trending off for younger generations. |

| ▲ | hyperbovine 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | It’s more like, millennials got older and started drinking less (as happens), and Gen Z drinks different things like hard seltzer, and also drinks a bit less overall. Plus there were just way too many craft brewers making hoppy ipa to begin with. | | |
| ▲ | sevensor 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Unfortunately, hoppy IPA seems to constitute the majority of the survivors. I have no interest personally in suffering through another hazy sour grapefruit triple ipa, but that seems to be about 90% of craft brewery output these days. |

| ▲ | caminante 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | > but Millennials aren't a younger generation anymore... Not younger than GenX/Baby Boomer? How? | | |
| ▲ | cogman10 7 minutes ago | parent [-] | | We millennials are all middle age. There's roughly 4 to 5 generations alive at any point and the middle generation is going to be considered both old and young by the generations surrounding it. Once Gen beta starts we'll be officially old. |

| ▲ | caminante 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Well, your first Google result is a blog post that makes my point. > For example, baby boomers are the generation with the most dramatic increase in harmful alcohol abuse. In contrast, Gen Z prefers the sober lifestyle as they are known to consume alcohol much less than any of their older counterparts, including millennials. | | |

| This finding is crazy! I wonder how many modern health issues have to do with healthy blood/nutrient flow to tissues, that are basically solved with either mild/moderately amounts of movement and a balanced diet. |

| I thought lots of data indicated that millennials were drinking less than previous generations? |
