Read an article a bit ago. Take away: Millennials drink the most but largely kicked the nicotine thing. Gen Z have brought back nicotine in a big way, even causing a resurgence in chewing tobacco. Its all just homosapiens coping, so I say pick your poison and keep doing your best.
Which is weird, cause I can drop drinking no problem, I'm on the nicotine train for life though, 35yo.
That's interesting. I do not have any desire to start smoking, but I probably do drink more than I should. I don't drink daily, but if I have one I'm probably having 2-4. I'm a hair holder than you are fwiw.
And those not doing nicotine are probably doing THC instead. There is a measurable negative impact of legalizing marijuana on alcohol sales
I would assume marketing is also the influence on that decision. Seemingly gen alpha seem focused on vaping instead, so times are changing - not necessarily for the better.
Yeah millennials are like the most alcoholic generation.
