Alcohol consumption lowering each decade in the EU
Alcohol consumption lowering each decade in the EU
Alcohol consumption in the EU has declined by 0.5 litres between 2010 and 2020. However, there are several countries where consumption increased.
Maybe more people are learning that alcohol is more damaging to the body and brain than marijuana? The article only speaks to a reduction in consumption, categorized by education level.
I somehow reckon that the price of booze is the larger element at play here
As someone in alcohol industry. I see a shift in my country from drinking loads of cheap beer to finding craft brewerys and better alcohol in general.
Going to pub for 10 beers and few shots of cheapest vodka/rum is no longer a thing.
Still we top some of these charts. (CZ)
I still crave a good Moravian slivovitz from CZ on cold days, but a good craft beer is definitely my default drink.

Brexit was needed to preserve English culture.
Interestingly, while alcohol is in decline, smoking and vaping are becoming increasingly popular in Germany. I think it might be in part because smoking shisha was popularized by immigrants from the middle east. Sadly, the pipes and clubs are not nearly as classy as the ones you might see there. (And, well, it's extremely unhealthy. But pick your poison and all that.)
Thats my beef too. Shisha bars try to be some sort of club while i just want to chill and talk while smoking. Thats why shisha at home is blessed.
