I do not know the US well enough to comment, but the US has always been a lot more anti-alcohol than (almost anywhere in) Europe.


What I'm talking about is slightly different than that.

This is more like alcohol apathy - not drinking, but also not explicitly anti-alcohol. That the more generational shift in Gen Z that I've seen. But, those sentiments can certainly change over time.


What I have noticed in the UK is:

1. health concerns mean moderate drinkers drink less, but heavy drinkers have not changed their habits 2. young people seem to go more to extremes: either drink a lot or be teetotal.
