Interesting because a friend of mine is a transplant hepatologist and has told me that the number of young people needing liver transplants due to alcohol abuse is abnormally high. I suppose both "young people are generally drinking less alcohol" and "more young people than ever are abusing alcohol" could both be true statements.
