    Young professionals in their 20s and 30s with high incomes and few responsibilities have contributed to rising alcohol consumption in recent decades. As more women have entered the workforce and gained disposable income without family obligations, alcohol consumption has increased among young women as well. The cultural trend of delaying marriage and children, or "extended youth", has also likely contributed to higher alcohol usage among both women and men.

    Reading 2. Changing lifestyles

    The past couple of decades have seen the rise of a class of professionals in their 20s
    and 30s who typically have high disposable incomes and few responsibilities.

    The rise of women in paid employment and the corresponding increase in disposable
    income has fuelled the increase in alcohol consumption. Young women -those without
    family responsibilities- seem best able to fund the habit.

    The tendency towards "extended youth" -people putting off marriage and children-
    may well have contributed towards the trend of higher consumption of alcohol, among
    both women and men.
