Data actually shows that Millennials are drinking far less than previous generations:

Sorry, I shouldn't have said rising, there wasn't trends I could cite.
What I should say is that it was is very interesting findings that young girls are being hospitalized more frequently than boys in the 10-19 age group. Also overall support that strategies are needed to reduce harmful drinking practices in youth, as it is often tied to other high risk adverse events. Also note that the data for this is specific to alcohol hospitalization only, collected from hospital discharge data and Stats Canada voluntary surveys. We don't have a source to link all harm that is related to alcohol use (ie injuries sustained from impair driving)

The most common diagnoses for hospitalizations entirely caused by alcohol for children and
youth age 10 to 19 were harmful alcohol use and alcohol intoxication (results not shown).
Girls age 10 to 19 are more frequently hospitalized for alcohol than boys in this age group;
this is the only period throughout the lifespan where hospitalizations entirely caused by
alcohol among females outnumber those among males
