Alcohol consumption has decreased across the United States in recent years, particularly among adults under age 40, but there is one older demographic in which more people are drinking than before the Covid-19 pandemic – and more are doing so heavily, according to a new study.
For the first time since before the pandemic, the percentage of US adults who drink any alcohol decreased between 2022 and 2024, according to the report in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. People from 50 to 64, which roughly corresponds with gen X, were the only age group in which drinking continued to increase.
Meanwhile,us old farts don't seem to be doing our fair share. It's up to each and every one of us to drink more, not less. Have bad knees or a bad back? Alcohol is the only answer. Retired with nothing to do? Go to the friggin' bar before happy hour and babble on about nothing with your cronies. You have a job to do. Do it, dammit.
