Attitudes toward alcohol

There may be something to this study….
Our 17 year old has zero interest or curiosity about booze or even the weed. His friends appear to be the same way. He will turn 18 in February and be of legal age to purchase any alcohol or cannabis in the many outlets available. All he’s indicated is that he “might” want to try a can of Guinness Draught with me.

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.
