Everything except unemployment is at a new low. Almost as if americans are broke right now. and not just some cultural shift like every other article is trying to make it out to be.

Weed/edibles/mushrooms. Not saying they are perfectly healthy or anything thing but millennials were that last real drinkers.

Gen Z is big on not drinking.

Also alcohol is a luxury. Most Americans who drink are rationing the Henny.

No Tariff Exemption for European Wine and Spirits, at Least for Now​

08/19/25

European Union negotiators have been arguing for weeks that America should not apply a 15 percent tariff to wine and spirits and instead maintain a longstanding tradition of keeping alcohol tariffs at zero on both sides of the Atlantic.

But as the United States and the 27-nation bloc move closer to a final text of their recently struck trade agreement, it looks increasingly unlikely that alcohol will catch a break.

Irish whiskey, Italian Prosecco, French Cognac and all other alcohol imports from the European Union will still face tariffs for now, according to a White House official who spoke on the condition of anonymity, adding that the two sides did not carve out those products in their initial deal.

The written draft of the trade agreement is still under negotiation and isn’t final. But this deep into the process, the reality that no exemption has been agreed to does not bode well for the alcohol industry. For many spirits producers in Europe, America has a major — if not the single most important — customer base

Tis an expensive habit too

Gen Z ditched sex, drugs and alcohol by a wide margin compared to other generations

Cuz weed is legal and less taboo

I actually don't like it or want it like I used to.

When I'm out and about in the city, it feels more compulsory to have a drink in my hand. Still love my old fashioned and I'll grab 1 or 2, but I'm gravitating towards just getting a cranberry juice or something.

Alcohol was the first biological weapon the devil used to successfully conquer my people.

We have no use for the devil’s juice on Turtle Island.
