It looks like the older we get, the more we are likely to partake in an alcoholic drink or two.
A new study from Flinders University shows the Silent Generation and Baby Boomers on average consume 5-6 standard drinks a week.
Generation X and Millennials go at 3-4 drinks a week, while Generation Z are down at 1-2.
But the Generation Xers, Millennials and Zers drink more per sitting, at 3-4, while the Silents and Boomers have 1-2.
(Generation birth guide: Silent - 1928 to 1945, Baby Boomers 1946 to 1965, Generation X 1965 to 1980, Millennials 1981 to 1996, Generation Z 1997 to 2010).
