INSIGHTS

Drinking Disrupted

Gen Z redefines modern drinking culture with cheap, impactful alternatives

Trend — Alcohol brands are leaning into ready-to-drink, mixable formats to deliver an effective 'pre-game' experience. These products aim to subvert stereotypes surrounding canned, small-format alcohols, packing a punch in ABV while delivering rich, delicious flavor.

Insight — Gen Z weighs two key factors when drinking: cost and effectiveness. Contrary to popular belief, rising costs and stagnant wages haven't curbed consumption, but have pushed consumers toward affordable, high-ABV brands that reduce the need to spend on pricey and often diluted bar drinks. Additionally, growing "hangxiety" has led many to prefer to coast through the night rather than pay for it the next day. Brands that address these concerns can gain trust—and retention—among younger shoppers.

Workshop Question — How have younger generations changed the way you think about how consumers interact with your product or service?
