(Apparently France is now one of the fastest-growing no-alcohol markets & stood out for its high level of new consumers, particularly younger people aged 19/30. Last year 14% of consumers said they were alcohol abstainers whereas this year it was up to 20%) - So yeah, many differences between countries 'youth-thinking' & culture nowadays.
