  Time Out’s new UK edition of Sip Happens reveals how younger generations are reshaping drinking culture: choosing quality over quantity and authentic experiences over excess.   Gen Z isn’t swapping cocktails for kombucha and isn’t going dry anytime soon – it is a generation that seems to be more mindful when it comes to alcohol and is just drinking differently. How Gen Z and Millennials in the UK are reshaping drinking culture has now been revealed by new research by Time Out – the brand that inspires and enables people to experience the best of the city.   The Time Out Sip Happens Report found that these younger audiences are defined by contradictions: 40% of Gen Z never drink alcohol at home yet they are 1.5x more likely than Millennials to seek out high-ABV sips when they are out. Meanwhile, Millennials drink more consistently across every category but seek out champagne vibes on a larger budget: while 53% want fancy cocktail spots, 80% select bars based on their happy hour offering to afford their curated sophistication.   The Time Out Sip Happens Report was launched this week with UK-centric data to empower media planners, drink brands, marketing teams as well as the wider hospitality sector when targeting these audiences.    Developed by Time Out’s Creative Solutions & Insights team, the report combines quantitative and qualitative insights from Time Out Loud – the brand’s proprietary research community – with editorial expertise from Time Out editors as well as...
