They're doing street xanax laced with fentanyl and smoking weed.
Thoughts on why Gen Z is not drinking alcohol?

They are always being filmed. People do stupid shit when they are drunk and are more likely to say something offensive. Now it will be filmed and held above your head forever. Stims at least let one keep their wits about them, which is why they are favored by young people.

Baptist hands wrote this post. Alcohol was the only way to get clean water for millennia. Note, I do not drink but I'm not going to pretend like it's the worst socially acceptable thing in all of human history

I learned to like the taste but it just wastes your time.
There's so many more fun and/or personally productive things you could be doing.

Give it 5 years. It was the same with millennials and once they started to enter the workforce en masse they started drinking. Work makes you drink, and not the fun party drinking of college. It is the habitual "I need this to get through the week" type of drinking. As well as they age their palates change and various types of non-sweet alcohol will start tasting better.

That's the thing though. No one really drinks when they need to be productive. Unless maybe it's to calm your nerves for something like a public speaking event or something. People drink alcohol to have fun, socialize, connect with people.
I sure hope so. Alcohol is a societal glue and prevents the worst of humanity from shining through. If we stop drinking we will end up like the Middle East.

It's a hell of a lot harder to buy alcohol when you're underage nowadays. When I was growing up we all knew the dodgy shops that would sell to us, or the pubs that would accept a squeaky "yes" when asked if you were old enough to be there. Nowadays they all want ID, have challenge 25 policies and the authorities prosecute a lot more. It's far less hassle to find the local drug dealer. It's probably harder to get hold of tobacco to roll with your weed.

Pure retard logic. Many great men cheated on their wives. Therefore cheating on your wife isn't bad, I guess?
All the greatest people in history could sing alcohol's praises for eternity, and it wouldn't stop alcohol from being a carcinogenic, brain-damaging poison that turns people into babbling idiots who say and do the dumbest shit in the world.

I'm talking about when you're just chilling, it's much harder to do anything because it makes you tired. It effectively just cuts into your free time.

Well no because that's sinful. Drinking is not sinful.
So what? We all die eventually. What is the harm in taking half a decade off of it if your life is 10x more enjoyable and you still die at a reasonable age?
That may be true but it certainly makes your free time more enjoyable. Quality over quantity. I could say that to both you and Shart.

I don't know where this is coming from. We still drink a shit ton. However, weed is becoming a serious rival, at least in places where it is legal. Most people I know tend to find weed as good if not better than alcohol. I've never tried it as I've seen people become extremely lazy and somewhat retarded over time after regular use. Even in places where it's illegal, it's a lot easier to get weed than alcohol, there are no alcohol plugs.

The only great non drinker was of course Adolf Hitler.
That aside, weed is just more cool and hip. Notice how Americans don't smoke? They will also now not drink. Something new will come out, they'll be addicted to that, and weed will eventually be uncool old geezer habit too.

No, Hitler was terrible. Maybe if he wasn't dry he wouldn't have gone crazy and killed all those people.

Not Gen Z, but us Gen Yers are drier than the Xers and Boomers as well.
Answer is obvious. Alcohol sucks ass, tastes like shit, is bad for you, makes you retarded, and is often expensive. Bad deal.

If it's true they aren't, it's probably connected to how risky adverse they are from having such awful helicopter parents.

Just tell us you like swallowing cum, bro. KiwiFarms is the most accepting place on the internet.
Weed ain't much better.
This. A lot of what I've seen is weed. Young people will hate drinking but LOVE smoking copious amounts of weed. The problem is that they'll list the usual reasons for preference over alcohol: It's cheaper, it's better for you, and it doesn't make you act like an idiot. Except.....
It's not cheaper. Dispensaries are wicked fucking expensive and raking people over the coals.
It's not better for you. Even if you make the argument it's not 1000 calories, munchies are a thing and I've seen plenty of people put on pounds from ordering their weight in food while high AF.
It makes you act like the biggest retard of all. The thing you don't realize is that the man drinks a bit still has his wits about him a bit. The man who is a bit high thinks the word "pudding" sounds funny. I've seen plenty of zonked out people high off their asses talk about a business idea that sounds great while they're high and they'll even try it because they're burnt out stoners and they always lose fuck tons of money. Mostly because they're too zonked out to realize they're not as smart as they think they are.

I think its mainly a price thing. Cocktails at a bar are super fucking expensive. Liquor while cheaper is still kind of expensive if you wanna get drunk consistently. Zoomers also generally dont like traditional wine and beer, breweries all across the country have been closing while the pre mixed cocktails and fruity seltzer shit are seemingly more popular among them. Those little weed pens they buy last like a month from what I've heard and you can get them for relatively cheap either from dispensaries or from sketchy whatsapp mexicans. Like 50 bucks of alcohol lasts a week if you wanna get drunk every night when your dumb and in your 20s if that? Or you buy the weed and be set with that same price for a month?
Its certainly not a health thing though, or its a false pretense of one. The amount zoomies who would "NEVER touch cigarettes" but suck vapes constantly or do zyns is hysterical. I think many of them view certain types of alcohol or alcohol in general as unfashionable and "icky" and that's why they don't drink it

You are absolutely correct, friend told me a story about some 19-20s who all had fake ids trying to get into a bar he worked that getting denied because none of them would scan. Why would you go through the hassle of that when the process of buying weed is so much easier.

Or if he'd relaxed with a cold one once in a while, he might not have lost.
