Statistics weren’t my strong suit but I’m pretty sure you can get an adequate sample size with 20% of a population.

No, a sample size needs to be randomized across the entire population. Or you'd need to compare it to the same subset of other generations when they were 21-25 years old instead of comparing it to entire other generations. It's just bad study and sampling design all around.

Sounds to me like you’re letting “perfect” be the enemy of “good” as it relates to a stupid internet clickbait headline.

Either that or we need to let the kids buy booze!

I call BS. No way to accurately tally that number with 80% of the generation being too young to buy it.

Gen Z is now 13-28.

Almost half are of legal drinking age. Extrapolate as you will, it isn't that close.

It's not just pure stats either, plenty of articles on younger folks foregoing alcohol. Partly driven by having grown up online, where every photo lives forever, and not wanting to age their skin and eyes with alcohol use. Part also to do with shifts toward other substances, "cali sober" if you will. Further pushing overall trends is a better understanding of the link between alcohol and cancer. The whole red wine health angle by the industry has been well exposed at this point. The memes about moms needing a glass by noon just to get through the day passed cringe-level years ago, especially with the increased awareness of mental health and self-care. The cool factor, if there ever was one, has been lost in recent years. Not near cigarettes yet, but trending that way.

But it is certainly a legit trend. NA bars are opening up. Craft beer isn't what it used to be. Not just Gen Z, but they are leading the way.

Show me the stats of when Gen x was 21-28 and compare to that. Otherwise don't bring me junk data.

Gen X?!? Deep dig. Marketing statistics weren't invented yet that long ago.

Some general (more recent) stuff (more general to 35 and under, but being pulled down by the youngs)
