poll are drinking alcohol as more embrace marijuana and shun the health risks of intoxicating fluids, the company reported Tuesday.
Young adults also reported less frequent drinking and were less likely to consume excess amounts of alcohol than in the past, the polling company found. Within the 18-34 age group, the average number of drinks fell from 5.2 per week in 2001-2003 to 3.6 in 2021-2023. Pollsters attributed the trend to a larger share of non-Whites in the age group — noting that they traditionally drink less than White Americans — and to growing health concerns about alcohol among young people. They also pointed to the surging popularity of marijuana use among younger generations.
