I don't think we've had one.

The Boomers were the ones who dodged the draft, burned their bras, experimented with drugs, had naked orgies in the mud.

The Silent Generation and the GI Generation and the Lost Generation were all known for extremely heavy drinking. The general idea of those generations was: grow up, have kids as young as possible, hope not to die in some horrible war, drink and smoke yourself to death whether or not you do.

Before that, we don't keep track of generations. We just never really thought to do it.

Fair point.
