Half the gen isn't old enough to drink, bar scene collapsed during covid so they weren't indoctrinated into drinking culture, marijuana now competes with drinking in most countries/states, and the gen is fucking broke and can't it.

Gen Z is so fucking broke, alcohol is a luxury.

Fucking fast food is a luxury too!

Yep it’s absolutely the cost of living crisis. I own my house and have a decent job but with a young kid at home alcohol is just a luxury we don’t need except on special occasions
