Sober curious?

This Statista report offers insight into the sober curious movement and how it affects U.S. and UK consumer habits and choices. It includes data on the motivations behind this behavior, what it means in practice, and the alternatives to alcoholic beverages consumers are exploring.
The sober curious movement, largely led by younger generations, encourages a mindful approach to drinking, promoting self-awareness rather than complete abstinence. This flexibility, as well as concerns about the physical and financial cost of alcohol, are the driving forces behind the trend and its influence on markets. Players in the industry are looking for new opportunities, offering an increasingly wide array of low-alcohol or alcohol-free options to sober-curious individuals. Low- and non-alcoholic beer is the most established segment but consumers interested in alternatives to alcohol are even venturing beyond the confines of direct alcohol replacements to cannabis.
