Today is your day Boomer! There is always alot of talk in January of New Year's resolutions....like becoming more fit and giving up drinking! But people tend to struggle with these promises because they are difficult to maintain over a long period. Boomers, especially, like their alcohol and are characterized on-line as the "booziest generation"! This was confirmed again in a new study: a report from Berenberg Research shows Gen Z drinks 20 per cent less per capita than Millennials when it comes to alcohol consumption. Not to be outdone, the report also shows Millennials are drinking less than both Gen X and Baby Boomers! And to make matters worse, one in ten Boomers admit to binge drinking at least once per month....that is five or more drinks in a two-hour period. Hmmmmm, I guess we like our wine, beer, and spirits more than younger people who tend to use other brain-numbers like cannabis. Another factor, apparently, is the high cost of booze. Boomers tend to have more money than other generations and maybe can afford to drink a little more. We also have the "habit".....many of us grew up socially drinking and it is a normal part of our lives. Food....er, drink for thought Boomers.
