It’s more like, millennials got older and started drinking less (as happens), and Gen Z drinks different things like hard seltzer, and also drinks a bit less overall. Plus there were just way too many craft brewers making hoppy ipa to begin with.
I see one poll by a cannabis outlet claiming 46% of marijuana users are millenials (read: high proportion of user base). However, <20% of millennials smoke marijuana. [0] And another claims <40% use cannabis.
That's still below the ~50% of millennials who consume alcohol.
