General Discussion

Those two academic citations are not from the article linked to, but from a publication that article links to, one of quite a few - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9545949/ - which does include, at the bottom of a very long piece, a list of 57 references including those written by Pape and Törrönen.

But the first paragraph of the OP also says this

with the quote being the link to that article at https://theconversation.com/the-rise-of-sober-curiosity-why-gen-zers-are-reducing-their-alcohol-consumption-243775 .

And it's a direct quote from the article. But the article has two authors, and they're both lecturers in marketing. Not researchers, let alone a single researcher.
