When writing your article:
Step 1: Review the overall findings of the survey, and pick your article angle.
- Go to the survey results article here: We Surveyed Millennials And Gen Z About Their Quarantine Drinking Habits — Cheers
- Look for data points you identify with or feel would help support your experience with this topic.
- For example:
- Wine was the most popular alcoholic beverage in the millennial/GenZ age group, and you yourself have really gotten into wine as well. Write about your experience learning about or finding good wine during quarantine. A headline for this might look like:

Step 2: When writing your article, make sure to include specific survey findings.
- We recommend writing a piece based on your individual perspective or experience with alcohol consumption, as opposed to an assessment of the survey findings.
- Mention the findings within the article where applicable.
- For example: "A group of my friends decided to start a virtual wine club, and it seems we're not alone. In a recent survey, 43 percent of people my age prefer wine as their drink of choice during lockdown."
- Link to the survey findings article if applicable.
Step 3: Embed the survey findings graphic into your piece using the entry editor.
- In the CMS, use the entry editor to add an "embed" to your article.
- Copy and paste the following embed code:
- (everything within the quotes): "<div class="canva-embed" data-design-id="DAD6p9q7xNM" data-height-ratio="1.8235" style="padding:182.3529% 5px 5px 5px;background:rgba(0,0,0,0.03);border-radius:8px;"></div><script async src="https://sdk.canva.com/v1/embed.js"></script><a href="https://www.canva.com/design/DAD6p9q7xNM/view?utm_content=DAD6p9q7xNM&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=embeds&utm_source=link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Odyssey Drinking Survey</a> by OdysseyHQ"
