Gen Z really looked at alcohol said: hard pass.

[scmbradley@mathstodon.xyz]

@infobeautiful is this a fair comparison? How old are the youngest gen z? How many of them are there compared to previous generations? How does alcohol consumption change with age?

[bransonturner@mastodon.social]

@infobeautiful HALF of Gen Z is underage. ‍️

[ldottxt@kind.social]

@infobeautiful holy shit lmao you have got to be kidding me, most of Gen Z is still CHILDREN

[kelson@notes.kvibber.com]

@infobeautiful OK, now break it down per capita and limit the stats to Gen Z'ers who are old enough to legally buy alcohol.

[fritzadalis@infosec.exchange]

@infobeautiful
Maybe Gen Z is only buying the cheap stuff.

[plastikanimal@mastodon.social]

@infobeautiful but why? It’s typically a social thing. So maybe living with your parents and not going out has something to do with it.

[chadr@infosec.exchange]

@infobeautiful Gen Z is also really broke and by comparison make a lot less than previous generations at the same ages. So either they may be drinking less or just drinking bottom shelf instead.
I agree with the others that a real measurement would be median or mean number of drinks per week/month/year per person

@infobeautiful @l_inadapte give them time to grow up the age pyramid

@infobeautiful I recall the same being said about millennials 15 years ago. maybe they just have less disposable income

[a_no_nee_moose@nrw.social]

@sanzky @infobeautiful and/or are of legal buying age.

@infobeautiful wait so this isn't even... per capita?

We're seeing the problem, yes? Or do I need to attach the "population map" comic

[lancejz@mastodon.social]

@infobeautiful that is awesome.

@infobeautiful

Give it time. Or show each generation at the same age point, adjusted for inflation. This is bad data.

@infobeautiful

Don't even have money for beer?
