Research reveals that more and more young Americans are replacing alcohol with cannabis drinks at happy hours, showing a shift in post-work relaxation habits.
After a long day of work, many young Americans are no longer raising a glass of wine or a beer mug to toast the end of the workday. Instead, they are opting for a can of cannabis-infused beverage.
A study by Drug Rehab USA revealed that one in three millennials and Generation Z workers prefer THC-infused drinks over alcohol to relax after work.
The survey interviewed a thousand employed adults and showed that the trend is clear: the younger generations are driving this shift in habits. In total, 66% of Americans said they have tried alternatives to alcohol in the last six months, and 24% stated they have already partially replaced alcohol consumption with non-alcoholic or cannabis-based options.
Among the post-work relaxation rituals, 45% still turn to alcohol, 24% to nicotine, 20% to cannabis, and 16% to alternatives such as non-alcoholic drinks, non-alcoholic beers, or CBD.
