I'd think this was a good thing if I knew it wasn't a result of the complete breakdown of social culture, but I guess it's better than drinking alone.
@PraxisOfEvil there are 2 main reasons why i don't drink a whole lot
1) i don't like being drunk
2) that shit is hella expensive
seriously, going to the bar to get a drink for $8+ is absolutely ridiculous. pretty much the only time i drink is either a couple of shots of vodka for a special occasion, or a single shot of whiskey to help sleep or when i'm sick. it's extremely rare. i've got a bottle of maker's mark i've had since january (maybe earlier) and it's only just now starting getting to the bottom.
it'd be interesting to actually interview zoomers and ask why it is they aren't drinking. i'd expect that for a lot of them it comes down to either the direct cost of it, or they are working so much that they are usually looking for something like caffeine, not a depressant. another reason might be how many zoomers are on medication that isn't supposed to be taken with alcohol.
