Irish people are drinking 31% less per capita than they were in 2001. The country has a reputation for enjoying a drink, but that reputation is increasingly ill-deserved: as in many Western countries, younger people in Ireland drink much less than their older peers.
One bar manager told the BBC that boys coming in “for two pints before… playing a football match” is a thing of the past.
The change is attributed to health consciousness, cost, and options such as actually drinkable non-alcoholic beers: The sale of zero-alcohol beer in Ireland has doubled in four years to 2% of the market, despite lagging behind the European Union average of 7%.
