The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground journalism covering reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech without paywalls, relying on reader support to send reporters nationwide. A separate cultural trend shows Gen Z adding ice to beers and wines, driven in part by a TikTok chelada trend and changing taste preferences. An LG survey reports 30 per cent of drinkers aged 18 to 35 prefer lager with ice, and 35 per cent admit to adding ice to red wine. Nearly half of respondents (44 per cent) called ice in wine "an unnecessary, uneducated, or gross choice," revealing generational division and social shame around drinking norms.
Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
Gen Z is dropping ice cubes into pints - and traditionalists are losing their chill. The rise of lager on the rocks has been linked to a TikTok trend featuring cheladas, a Mexican beer-based cocktail with lime and salt, but it has since snowballed into a full-blown culture war over what belongs in a beer glass. A new survey by electronics company LG has revealed a cool 30 per cent of drinkers aged 18 to 35 now prefer lager with ice.
