That’s what I mean, wouldn’t it being a different subset of users? Maybe these are the hardcore drinkers that already existed, but were overshadowed by the huge numbers of drinkers.

Solo drinking surge among young adults, especially women: A red flag for public health -
Solo drinking surge among young adults, especially women: A red flag for public healthIsn’t drinking way down in young people overall? I think the comparisons wouldn’t be one to one then.
“There have been increases in solitary drinking among young women, in particular, over the past 25 years. Solitary drinking, or sometimes drinking when they are alone, was reported by about 40% of young adults who drank in the past year.”

Deaf Teenager and 24-Year-Old Gain Ability to Hear After Experimental Gene TherapyJust one month after the treatment, the majority of patients gained some hearing. Six months later, all 10 showed considerable hearing improvement, with the average volume of perceptible sound improving from 106 decibels (very loud) to 52 (much fainter). What’s more, the patients did not report any adverse side effects within the first 12 months post-treatment.

Two of the World’s Worst Termites Hooked Up in Florida—and Now We’re ScrewedIn October 2024, the researchers discovered a full-blown hybrid colony in a Fort Lauderdale park, which had likely been active for more than five years before being detected. Chouvenc said that there are likely many more hundreds of colonies across South Florida that have not yet been found.
Both parent species are prolific breeders, capable of forming massive colonies and spreading rapidly. The fact that these hybrids are swarming—and potentially just as fertile—raises major red flags.
Fort Lauderdale’s status as a global boating hub may accelerate the spread. “This may be a Florida story now, but it likely won’t stay just in Florida,” Chouvenc warned. Private boats have previously been implicated in termite spread across the U.S. and internationally.
