Why choose tea over alcohol?

The story notes that 47% of 18 to 27-year-olds favour tea over alcohol for daunting occasions. This shift could be due to a desire to stay clear-headed and focused, avoiding the potential downsides of alcohol like hangovers or impaired judgment. Tea offers a social, comforting ritual without those drawbacks, making it a practical choice for important events.
