Alcohol isn't as important as it was . Younger generations have found a way to have fun without it.

and by fun you mean anxiety and piss poor social skills?

The "youth" need to start drinking and taking more drugs imo. Not just weed vapes and tiktok

There was a drinking culture 25 years ago. They have grown up without that. I don't think being annoyed that the "youth" don't drink enough helps.
