A new study has found 18-24 year-olds are trying to drink less alcohol.

18 to 24 year olds are actively trying to drink less alcohol - and are turning to Zero options this Christmas to do that.

That's according to Musgrave Marketplace, which says sales of non-alcohol drinks have soared by over 140% on last year.

Zero percent beer was preferred by those in Laois, while people in Offaly and Westmeath went for No-Secco, or alcohol free prosecco.

However, almost 57% of over 55s say they wouldn't choose a zero-percent drink.
