Younger revellers are ditching alcohol

Gen Zers, people who were born between 1997 and 2012, and Millennials, people who were born between 1981 and 1996, would rather have a soft drink, than tipple on beer or wine.

And 23 per cent of people do not want to have an alcoholic beverage at picnics or barbecues.
