The number of pubs, bars and clubs with a 24-hour alcohol licence has fallen 19 per cent in five years as millennials look for other ways to have fun.
Young adults are drinking less than previous generations, with large numbers apparently opting to stay in, order a takeaway and watch channels such as Netflix.
The number of establishments with 24-hour licences fell from 919 in 2013 to 742 in 2018, according to research by commercial law firm EMW.
