Going Out Drinking? No Thanks! As Almost One In
Four Young Adults Today Are Teetotal There was a
time when young people couldnt wait to be able
to legally purchase alcohol. But, times change,
and going by contemporary research, it seems many
young adults these days are choosing not to drink
at all. Based on a recent report, around 25 are
teetotal. The Society of Independent Brewers
(Siba) publishes an annual report, centred on the
craft beer industry, examining trends and market
progress. In this years report from the
beginning of March, Siba discovered a rise in
young people choosing low alcohol beers or
abstaining from drinking altogether. The report
revealed nearly one in four 18 to 24-year-olds
choose not to consume alcohol, amounting to a
rise of over 5 in the past year. The drinks
industry has seen an increase in the popularity
of low or non-alcohol beers in the UK. There has
been an estimated upsurge in sales of these,
going back four years, to more than one in four.
Increase in teetotal young adults A University
of Sheffield study also revealed that the number
of 16 to 24-year-olds going teetotal increased to
almost one in four in a 15-year period from 2001
to 2016.

If you are a young adult considering abstinence,
then youre not alone. Many famous people are
teetotal, from Hollywood stars Jim Carrey and
Jennifer Lopez, to British actress Kate
Beckinsale and Harry Potter actor Daniel
Radcliffe. Daniel has spoken about his problems
with alcohol and gave up drinking almost a decade
ago. People from all sections of society
can struggle with addiction and may choose to
abstain, while others may not enjoy the taste of
alcohol. It is seemingly no longer obligatory
for those reaching drinking age to consume.
According to research, many young adults are
choosing not to, as low or no alcohol beer grows
in popularity. There was a time when, if you were
a young person, going out drinking was the norm.
But, as tastes and habits change, it seems to be
cooler to cut down your alcohol intake, or to be
teetotal, and forego drinking altogether. Source
