Fewer young adults responding to the Gallup poll are drinking alcohol as more embrace marijuana and shun the health risks of intoxicating fluids, the company reported Tuesday.
Among adults under 35 who responded to the company’s latest three-year survey on consumption, 62% said they had ever imbibed adult beverages, down from 72% two decades ago.
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. The share of drinkers aged 35 to 54 increased from 67% to 69% over the same period. In 2011-2013, that age group passed young adults to become the likeliest age group to imbibe.
