DECLINING DRINKING

Why the World Is Drinking Less — and What’s Taking Its Place

🍷 Drinking Rates Are Falling Fast

📉 In both the U.S. and Canada, alcohol consumption is hitting record lows:

• Only 54% of Americans drink alcohol—lowest in 85 years.

• Canada saw a 3.8% drop in alcohol sales by volume—the steepest drop since tracking began in 1949.

• Younger generations are leading the decline:

  • Gen Z & Millennials are the most sober-curious.

  • Women’s drinking rates dropped more sharply than men’s.

• In Quebec and parts of the U.S., heavy drinking is still the norm.

Why It Matters:
What we consume now shapes the long-term health, fertility, and focus of future generations.

🧠 Why Are People Drinking Less?

This isn’t just a “trend”—it’s a cultural reset. Here's what's driving the shift:

1. 🚨 Health Warnings Are Hitting Hard

• WHO and U.S. Surgeon General now warn: even one drink a day may raise cancer risk.

• In Canada, new guidelines suggest no more than 3 drinks per week—down from 10 to 15.

2. 🧘 Wellness Over Wasted

• From fitness to mindfulness, people want energy, clarity, and control.

• Alcohol’s role in mood crashes, poor sleep, and gut health is more widely understood.

3. 🌿 Sober-Curious Lifestyle

• Alcohol-free events, sober festivals, and wellness-first dating are all rising.

• Dry November and Sober October have gone mainstream.

4. 🧬 Generational Wake-Up

• Many saw what alcohol did to their parents’ or grandparents’ health.

• Now they’re choosing to break the cycle—and protect their future.

🔄 What Are People Turning To Instead?

If you’re drinking less—or not at all—you’re not alone. Here’s what’s rising:

🧠 Final Thought

Drinking less isn’t about deprivation—it’s about liberation.
You’re not just breaking habits. You’re building a better body, a clearer mind, and a future worth showing up for.

🧠 MINDFUL MOMENT

 THE PAUSE

💭 Try This Instead

Next time you catch yourself reaching for a drink out of habit, pause and ask:

👉 “What am I really trying to feel?”
Is it relaxation? Comfort? A way to escape? Or to connect?

🧠 Now try a new route:

• Move your body (even a short walk)

• Journal your thoughts

• Take a hot bath

• Call someone you trust

The craving isn’t always for the drink—it’s for the state you hope it brings.
✨ Choose a better path to that feeling. Your future self will thank you.
