Generation Z wellness and alcohol consumption trends

Overview

Generation Z is demonstrating a significant shift in alcohol consumption patterns, moving toward moderation and sobriety. Research indicates that approximately 24% of Gen Z adults do not consume alcohol, while 21% practice deliberate moderation. Primary drivers for this change include physical health, financial savings, and mental health improvements.

This shift is manifesting in new social behaviors, such as the emergence of “wellness darties.” These daytime events replace traditional late-night alcohol-focused gatherings with activities centered on physical fitness, such as outdoor sports, group exercise, and strength competitions. While these trends are established at various universities in the United States, similar concepts are also appearing in Brazil, integrating fitness modalities like yoga and spinning with sensory experiences.
