rendered— about Gen Z's aversion to alcohol. The online narrative has been that
the youngs are teetotalers, recusing themselves from America's big bad drinking

drunks, the story goes, and the generational up-and-comers are taking the high
road. Turns out, though, that Gen Z is not that different. They've just taken
their time to get to the bar.
