Thoughts on why Gen Z is not drinking alcohol?

Hon hon hon hon hon,

I can smell the lack of Europe in the thread. A good wine is a good wine because it is tasty.

The alcohol buzz is just a bonus, if you drink something that you don't enjoy the taste of, that's on you.

There's something fucked about people who won't drink but have no problem with Rx, fenty-pills and ultra high power brain shattering THC concentrates made with meth lab equipment that hit like a heroin nod just with no heroin upside.

Dafuq is wrong with all you Z's and no sex no booze? You gonna start trying to drink and get handsy in the nursing home or do you want to feel up a fellow 20 something year old?

Alcohol puts you in a weaker state, you are vulnerable. So if you were to drink, preferably you would only do that in front, or with people you trust. In a low trust society, it only makes sense that this generation would drink less.

Prior the niggerfication & islamification that ended with the "multicultural society" we have today (speaking of Europe mostly), drinking would just be a "good time at the bar", today it's just a risk factor to get robbed or raped on the buss/taxi on the way home after said "good time at the bar". It's just not worth the risk.

IMO it's because they're more dependent on their parents than their forebears. And recall how suburban and car-dependent the American Dream is (and really the other Anglo countries; contrast, say, continental Europe), so young Jimmy's not going nowhere unless Mommy can take him there. Could also be because there are more 2nd generation immigrants among these birth years (I'm one!), whose parents would be more likely to be strict and/or traditional (and more of these being successful enough to live in suburbs rather than the ghetto). So they end up just doing school in high school rather than partying or dabbling in drugs and alcohol etc.

And this would carry on even to college / adulthood as more young people attend community colleges, or commuter schools (e.g. Stony Brook, Rutgers, TCNJ, George Mason, the CSUs, maybe even UNC or Michigan if you grew up in those metro areas; basically any 4 year university in a suburb), and live with their parents, owing to financial / job market constraints.

Maybe also autism -> taking rules, laws, and guidance (and education about these) more seriously, and you might as well ask why Gen Z was so good at obeying (and promoting) COVID restrictions, but I'm not entirely sure about correlation and causation.

A bottle of Popov is not a social gathering. The bar is. You go to a bar as a social venue, and the drinks you pay for are your admission fee (assuming there isn't a door charge). Believe it or not, drinking alone at home while crying isn't really the purpose of alcohol. That's just a sidequest.
I've actually gotten the answer to OP's question, and it's basically down to Gen Z watching the world fall apart at the seams, and instead of pointing at the disease, they blame the symptom. In their defense, they're sort of right to do so. People who aren't drinking socially drink because shit sucks. Drunk people who think shit sucks tend to make shit suck even more. The way Gen X and Boomers handle alcohol is less handling, and more abuse. Boomers don't drink socially, they drink because it's the only thing to do apart from complaining about your wife and watching cable news, when you're retired.

The causes to the youngins not drinking so much is multifaceted

1. Weed. The culture of weed and legalization has functionally supplanted alcohol for many demographics, the fact that it's less harmful than liquor is balanced out by a prevalent smoke erry day culture.

2. Anti social zoomers, the youngins don't socialize that much and a great deal of alcohol consumption for many people is in a social setting. For underages drinking with your friends who got their hands on a bottle would be less likely to happen

3. For the underages in the United States getting alcohol is incredibly hard now a days. At least in my state liquor stores have all these fancy ID scanners and the law is punitive towards anyone who sells alcohol to a minor, even if they had a fake ID that was believed to be real. Combine that with using underages as informants to get people to buy them alcohol to trap someone, source knew someone in highschool who did that. However for underage drinking there is no way to have accurate statistics, the only way they get them is a "anonymous" survey in public school in which everyone lies on.

4. The least risk taking generation. If you remember in the last 2 weeks there was a study that made the rounds across the web. Young adults most desired aspect of their lives is to be safe. A combination of the fear propaganda given to teens about alcohol now, most people having at least one alcoholic in their personal lives, and a myriad of other factors I think is enough to turn the play it safe generation off of alcohol (into the loving and overusing hands of marijuana). For underages the fear of getting caught by the cops is enough to stop them.

It honestly doesn't seem that bad that alcohol use is down but I have a fear that somehow something worse would take it's spot.

Not necessarily. Teens are retarded and when they abandon one thing they usually replace it with something worse. That being weed in this case. Look what that's done. Weed made them anti-social retards. Maybe at one point weed was a social drug but in our quest for neverending THC, that ended a long time ago. Now you have teens who are literally chasing the dragon and even micro dosing shrooms and pot.

I touched on this before, but the reality is weed is a fucking time sink hole. A few beers, you'll be sober in a few hours. A bowl or two, you're done for the night. You're not doing anything else but planting your ass on that couch. The most you'll move is to piss and get door dash. It's death spiral, you'll never get these kids to actually socialize. I can only hope the next gen looks at them and says "wow you faggots are lame" and decides to go out and be actual people.

Because zoomers have no life. They never had any meaningful social experiences or adventures. All of their self-discovery is limited to reposting fetish porn on Twitter and laughing in a Discord VC. They don't have any real ties, their friends who are just as Internet-addicted will easily drift apart and forget about each other. They have no hobbies or thoughts. The moment they are alone, the thoughts they don't want to face resurface, and they turn to scrolling TikTok psyops or outright gooning to macabre fetishes (if they're alone). Of course they don't know the joy of going out with your friends and drinking some beer together. All of the former social conventions have been eroded and zoomers turned into blank slates ripe for MK Ultra, while Jewish and Chinese governments run a tug-of-war over how many impressionable minds they can psyop.

People saying alcohol is too expensive probably live outside the US, its dirt cheap there and expensive as fuck in Canada and probably some European countries too.

Zoomers like to cling to the "we are more responsible then the older generations" cope about drinking less alcohol but the truth is that Zoomers replaced alcohol with weed, Xanax, galaxy gas, Tik Tok, gooning and any other vice they could latch on to.

Alcohol was predominantly used in social settings and Zoomers have no social skills or relationships and would rather be at home blasted on weed / drugs and sharing tranny porn with their fellow gooners then go out to a bar and party like a normal human being.

A toothless regular at our favorite pub convinced me and the lads that we'd be able to drink a lot more if we just hit a joint at the end of the night. He was right.

Weed was really sociable until it became ghettoized brain-nuke hybrid strength. It's not really pleasurable anymore and doesn't enhance anything. You read High Times mags from the early 90s and earlier then that it was all about the session and "talkative" coffee shop type strains were huge. Now its some anhedonic lobotomy contest. Nothing like being trapped inside on your computer and then trapped inside your own head terrified by any random noise you may or may not have heard.

Bars and clubs are dying because they're full of certain types of people (niggers, arabs, jeets) looking for drunk women to rape, nothing to do with zoomers specifically. Once the women stopped going, bars and clubs started dying out.

But also the zoomers drink less because they don't have good role models to show them how to consume alcohol responsibly and in a fun manner. If you live in a large urban center full of liberals, the only alcohol consumption you see is drunk subhumans stumbling around, pissing themselves, raping each other, and getting into fights.
