More younger adults are choosing to abstain, too, as nonalcoholic "mocktails" become widely available and people feel less social pressure to drink. A different Gallup poll published last year found that 62% of adults under 35 said they drink alcohol, down 10 percentage points from 20 years earlier. Do you drink alcohol at least occasionally? Yes
