Attitudes toward alcohol

I've also noticed this trend
My son (23) likes making occasional cocktails as a kind of a science experiment, but he doesn't drink beer or wine. He gets slightly tipsy maybe once every couple of months.
My daughter had an unexpectedly large cocktail at a party during her first couple of weeks at college in 2023 and hasn't touched alcohol since

I still remember getting a school workbook back from my 3 year old son's kindergarten. They'd asked him to describe his dad, and when asked what my favourite drinks were, he'd responded with 'Wine and beer'.

I barely drank as a teen or twenties. Weed was much kewler than alcohol at the time. I tnink it was only in my forties I started to take wine more seriously, and now my most common drink is a beer with dinner, maybe twice a week. Firday nite dinner always has a bottle of wine. I guess that’s it for me. I have a number of unopened expensive whiskeys received as gifts from patients. But they stay mostly unopened.

There was a bar on Route 7 called the Pawn Shop, at one time my 5 roommates and I had a streak going for 7 months. At least 2 of us were in that bar every night.
We were in there drinking all the time, and we weren't alone. We were probably 25-26 years old.

I remember watching Deadwood and thinking - how tf did they drink so much all the time. Our generation might look similar to the next one?

North Asia is still like this, especially a place like Korea. Seems like it is either 0% drinking or drinking to unconscious. LOL

You failed to mention you lived in a 1-bedroom apartment. I don't blame the other guys for going to the bar and drinking at night.

It was a 5-bedroom house in an "Embassy" neighborhood in McLean. It had a swimming pool that was great for toga parties.
The neighbors were polite, but they didn't miss us when we left.
