No longer sober: Gen Z has become a boozy generation— this is to blame, study says
They're Gen Boozey. Zoomers have historically been labeled a fairly abstinent generation. But now, the generation born between 1997 and 2012 are bucking their party pooper stereotype by increasing their alcohol consumption as cost of living pressures ease, per a buzzy study by global beverage market research firm IWSR Bevtrac. 'The idea that Gen Z LDA+ (legal drinking age) drinkers are choosing to moderate significantly more than other generations doesn't hold up,' Richard Halstead, IWSR's chief operating officer of consumer insights, told Newsweek. This shocking study contrasts with prior data over the past several years, which found that Gen Z was drinking far less alcohol than previous generations. Their Z-totalling ways famously prompted an increase in sober gatherings and alcohol-free bars across New York City. To determine the rates of hooch intake across generations, the researchers surveyed more than 26,000 people across the 15 biggest alcoholic drink markets: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, France, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Spain, South Africa, Taiwan, the UK and the US. The survey found that 73% of Gen Zers aged 21-27 had admitted to consuming alcohol in the past six months, compared to 66% two years prior — the biggest increase of any generation, The Financial Times reported. This uptick was magnified in the US, soaring from 46% to 70%. What prompted Gen Z's increased fascination with libations? Halstead claimed that Zoomers didn't suddenly acquire the taste, but rather they now have more disposable income to burn on booze than in years prior — when they were more cash-strapped due to inflation and the fact that fewer were employed. 'We know that beverage alcohol consumption correlates with disposable income, and Gen Z came of age during a cost-of-living crisis, he explained, per the Times Of London. 'Rising prices have been especially acute in bars and restaurants — places that appeal most to Gen Z drinkers.' Halstead added, 'With every year that passes, more Gen Z drinkers are entering the workforce, and those already in the workforce are typically earning more.' That being said, 20-somethings remain marginally less likely to drink than most other generations. By contrast, the so-called booziest generation, the Baby Boomers, appear to be cutting back. The proportion of 60-and-over respondents who admitted to consuming booze over the past six months dropped to 72% — a one percent decrease from two years ago. In addition, Zoomer boozers were more likely to imbibe spirits, consume a wider variety of alcoholic beverages, and also drink at bars, restaurants or clubs than the other generations. According to the study, millennials — those aged between 28 and 44 — were the most likely to booze with 83% admitting to touching the bubbly over the past half-year. Gen Xers — those born between 1965 and 1980 — came in second at 79%. Solve the daily Crossword

'General Hospital' star Tristan Rogers diagnosed with cancer at 79
Tristan Rogers, known for portraying Robert Scorpio on "General Hospital," was diagnosed with cancer, representatives confirmed to Fox News Digital. Rogers, 79, appeared in over 1,400 episodes and starred in the popular daytime television drama for more than three decades. "While he remains hopeful and is working closely with his medical team on a treatment plan, this is a challenging time for Tristan and his family," his representative said in a statement. "As they face both the emotional and physical burdens that come with this diagnosis, the family kindly asks for privacy and understanding. They are deeply grateful for the outpouring of support and love from their friends and family." They added, "Tristan sends his love to his fans and wants them to know how much he appreciates their loyalty and encouragement over the years. This support means more to him now than ever. Future updates will be shared if deemed appropriate by Tristan and his family." The Australian actor first began playing the Scorpio role in 1980. He briefly left the series in 1992 when his character was killed off, only to reappear in 1995 as a spirit, before returning to the show in 2006 when his character was found alive again. He appeared in a dozen episodes of "General Hospital: Night Shift," and his character's last appearance on "General Hospital" was Nov. 12 when Scorpio left town with his ex, Holly Sutton. "Robert has always had kind of a glib approach to everything; he's a bit of a smart-mouth," he told Soap Opera Digest in 2018. He also noted, "I'm working with a lot of different people … And I think the fans are going to like it." In addition to his role on "GH," Rogers also appeared in nearly 200 episodes of "The Young and the Restless." He earned a daytime Emmy in 2020 for Outstanding Performance by a Supporting Actor in a Digital Drama Series for his work on "Studio City." Rogers was then nominated the following year for "The Bay." With more than 50 credits to his name, Rogers dabbled in voice work and voiced the character of Jake in "The Rescuers Down Under."
