Having children takes a huge toll on the body. Millennials tend to have none or a lot fewer children than previous generations. Also, millennials eat way healthier and smoke less than their parents and grandparents.

    Alcohol, too. While I do believe many/most did the whole "social life is at the bar" out of high school, I think millennials were the generation that started breaking the cycle more and started doing more things while drunk (like board game bars, video game bars, escape rooms, etc), and then transitioned to not getting as drunk so they could do the things better and not be as much of a burden on those around them who weren't just trying to get wasted for the night.

    Also more options that weren't as destructive as alcohol for those that still wanted to get fucked up. And less judgement about those options.
