Mindful Drinking & Moderation in Midlife: Low No Drinker Podcast

#85. Move Over Gen Z: How Midlife Moderators are Changing the Drinking Game


Listen Later

This week, I'm busting the myth that Gen Z are the only ones changing their relationship with alcohol. 

Inspired by a 70-year-old Irish gentleman named Eamon who told me he recently decided to quit drinking, I explore how my generation—Generation X—along with older Millennials and even Boomers, are quietly revolutionising our drinking habits. 

With 74% of UK adults now actively moderating their alcohol consumption, this episode delves into the different motivations driving mature drinkers—from health and energy concerns to extending social occasions—and how our approach differs from that of younger generations.
