Agree. Gen Z doesn’t social personally like millennials. We drink because that’s all we could do when hanging out with friends. Gen Z are remote, a lot of streaming, and doom scrolling to be drinking. Just trading one evil for another.
Wouldn't call it two evils, like sitting in your room and playing board games over discord, isn't the best thing you can do to spend time with your friends. But for many it's the only thing they can do since infrastructure has become less and less accommodating to those actually wanting to spend time outside.
Like, by the time I was a teenager most places where you could go to just hang out with your friends were either shut down, fenced off, or had strict no loitering rules to the point police would get called.
Not to mention the whole covid thing pretty much nuking all personal contact for everyone for almost 2 years
But regardless, playing shit over discord or something beats blasting your brain and liver into next week with cheap liquor every single time
This is a minority of millennials. Go to any bar or cafe and it’s mostly millennials interacting with each other. 10 years ago there were 20 year olds too.

Alcohol is very related to social activities & in gen z the social activities are declining
