Young people under 30 (Gen z) are drinking less overall and young men especially are going to the gym, avoiding the nightlife(bars, clubs, festivals) and older people over 30 or 35 are slowing down on drinking, and instead prefer to take care of their bodies and decide to adopt healthy lifestyles for the future :flabbynsick: they realize they can’t party like they used to anymore. Conscience of mortality leads to maturity.


Why young people are drinking less- my guesses :

Addiction to social media platforms/internet

They got used to Social isolation and confinement during Covid and haven’t let it go

Rise of religiosity and conservative mindsets/lifestyles/values

Taking the Redpill

Tradwife/trad trend on social media (instagram and TikTok)

Desire to find God/coming to Jesus

Thinking getting drunk is embarrassing anf cringe-they don’t want to become viral memes/online jokes

People desiring to find God/Jesus Christ and repent from sin.
As a result People are becoming aware of their sinful nature, their rejection of Christ and their pending punishment in eternal hell (as they’re learning the truth more and more people become born again Christians And are saved forever by the gospel from the fires of permanent hell. They are immediately redeemed by the blood of the lord Jesus Christ as their entire life sin debt ( all their sins they have committed, are committing and will commit until they die naturally ) goes to the savior of mankind. The son of God and lamb of God, Jesus Christ’s record and His righteousness is imputed to them. He made that sacrifice for us. The best trade ever. He paid your debt with his blood and he gives you his spirit and his righteousness, aka his sinless record. Of couse as the son of God Jesus never sinned and he’s spotless like pure and perfect lamb )

Recession/struggling economy/still living with their parents

Social atomization and loss of monoculture

Social awkwardness and lack of social skills/ awareness of many young folks
24/7 strict Gym life and dietary habits

i knew a guy a while back who couldnt go to sleep without a 6 pack

im pretty sure hes dead now
I go in for checkups and blood work annually. My liver, heart, blood pressure and everything else are good. I get 7 1/2-9 hours of sleep a night. I do a lot of walking, biking, etc. I'm not giving up my cheap beer at the end of the day.

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.

College towns or the hood natural light and ice always goes quick along with seltzers. Many many years removed from college I pretty much buy seltzers and natural light.

I refuse to believe a large casual party in a college town only has weed, lol. Alcohol is first and weed off to the side with a few folks. Weed is more limited to small groups in general.
