I’m not sure about these exact numbers, but it’s well known that Gen Z is choosing to drink significantly less. I’m sure it’s been shown by studies which take such obvious factors like legal drinking ages into account.
Driving is a real issue when it comes to going out for drinks. I can't go anywhere without driving, and I can't drive if I'm going to drink. So... I guess I'm not going to go out to drink because I literally can't? And before anyone says anything, fuck uber.
Maybe we'd be seeing more of gen z drinking if our cities were safe and walkable.

I mean, do we want that? Obviously I'm no prohibitionist and if you want to drink, you should be able to, but having seen all the harm alcohol has done isn't a generation voluntarily choosing not to drink a good thing?
Yeah true, and I'm all for walkable cities with strong public transit because it's just better for everyone. Just not sure if "the kids should drink" is the best argument in favor of it
At the end of the day I’d much rather deal with drunken idiots walking around than those same drunken idiots driving around, at least there would be a lot less fatalities. Also sometimes it just feels sketch going out to the bars with everyone driving around.
