This is all part of the puritanical shift that’s happening in some Gen Z circles, this post can’t be talking about millennials. I saw an article a few months ago that stated millennials were the drunkest generation and that while Gen Z as a whole drink less there has been a strong uptick in their consumption recently. Can’t imagine why they might have started drinking more, well besides you know the everything happening in the world
If weed is legal drinking goes down.
I wonder if it’s people living in weed “dry” states that are the current outliers.
Well here in the Netherlands it was Covid that did in the student drinking culture and apparently it just never bounced back.
Its most probably also inflation. Now i spend 2-3x more
This is exactly it. South Carolina is full of sloppy alcoholics and the alcohol lobby spends a lot of money to keep it that way. They'll be the last in the country to legalize.
Texas is always in a race for last place too

Gen Z is lost to the manosphere and homesteading. Those are used to push right wing puritanical propaganda. I really hope they snap out of it.

It's basically living off grid, eating what you raise. It mainly draws in women by pushing traditional gender roles propaganda.

Laughs in British.
By the time Americans are trying alcohol for the first time, some of us are straight up alcoholics and have been trying to quit for several years.
Sadly, this doesn't apply to Wisconsin.
Weird flex.
You can recover by telling us we're dumb for building houses out of wood, or calling us fat.
Ooh! Ooh! Make a school shooter joke! Those are always a hit!
Well yes, there are several other policies and mannerisms of yours besides the 21-year-old MLDA that are quite frankly inscrutable to me.

Denmark that has been topping the drinking charts among 15-16 year olds almost every year this century:

Love a pint, personally. Drinking with friends trumps most other activities. Currently on my way to see The Prodigy with some old friends I'm meeting in Edinburgh. Looking forward to the pubs and merry laughs as much as the gig, in fact more so.
Boomers love vaping, once it is a product to sell them
As a millennial enjoying a cocktail right now, hey, you do you.
I'm gonna say it, alcohol and smoking is shit. Especially those who smoke you even smell like shit
Ehm. Cigarettes, alcohol, cocaine, ketamine, speed, xtc, ghb, lsd, etc. Just alcohol is for noobs.
