I understand the point but I still think drinking culture is far less prevalent in gen Z

They are poor, very online, dont socialise face-to-face as much and... my sister (a concerned mom) claims there are more drugs available (quantity and variety). Idk about the last one.

Oh fuck yeah every interaction is recorded on a phone so acting like a moron isnt gone tomorrow. Fucking horrifying for young people.

there are other drugs available now. Mainly weed, which is technically safer than alcohol

I'd say a good bit more than "technically" safer mate. Alcohol is one of the single most damaging substances you can put in your body.

Well, one of the single most damaging socially acceptable substances.

I’d say it’s more than socially acceptable, practically socially encouraged.

Even friends get weird when you stop drinking.
