Normalize it for age. How much did GenX spend at 22 vs GenZ? It could be similar, but it’s not clear. Of course old people have more disposable income once the mortgage is paid off and GenZ can’t get a mortage, just an expensive rental.

There’s a big drop off in drinking overall and it’s a good thing. Yet genZ is back on nicotine.

    Yeah, I know some Gen Z college kids, and I will attest they definitely spend significant money on alcohol. And cigarettes.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the vice money is just split between alcohol, cigarettes, weed, vape carts, and adderall. So, just diluted.

    Is illicit Adderall in the US "real"? Or are they usually pressed fakes?

    I never understood why speed is/was so uncommon when I was in the US a long time ago. I was offered basically everything there, but never normal speed (without methamphetamine in it) like in Europe.
