We thought Gen Z weren’t drinking. But these cocktails in a ball may suggest otherwise

Earlier perceptions suggested a significant decline in alcohol consumption among Generation Z. However, recent trends indicate a potential shift, as pre-mixed sugary canned cocktails are increasingly becoming a popular choice for this demographic. These convenient beverages are frequently used to initiate social gatherings and nights out, challenging the previous understanding of Gen Z’s relationship with alcohol. Despite their growing prevalence, the taste of these ready-to-drink options often proves divisive, sparking varied opinions among consumers even as their popularity for starting an evening rises.
