A record low number of Americans are drinking, according to a new Gallup poll released this week. Just 54% of Americans said they consume alcohol at all.
Gallup has been tracking Americans’ drinking behavior since 1939, and their views of the health implications of drinking since 2001. For the first time, a majority of Americans – 53% – said that moderate drinking, defined as one or two drinks per day, is bad for your health.
There is no fertility crisis though.
People are plenty fertile lol
they just don’t want kids. Also since they don’t want them and are satisfied with that, not a crisis
They want them, but can’t afford a nice place to raise them. It’s no wonder in places like SF the fertility rate is much lower than the national average
If only conservative people have kids the youngest voters will lean conservative
Both things can be true. I think it’s something like 25-30% of younger men with sperm cells so weak they’d at least struggle greatly to procreate. Probably more due to microplastics and fastfood though, but drinking doesn’t help. Same reason there are so many allergies etc in the West
