Why is Gen Z not drinking?
>>536152828the more you drink the less you can shitpost and play vidya
>>536152828One cocktail is $16.
>>536152891I love shitposting while drunk wdym
alcohol is such a cringe ass boomer thing>let's drink poison to get dizzy and vomit!how about no
>>536152828I have drank Smirnoff Ice/Screwdrivers occasionally.
>>536152828Alcohol requires disposable income, which zoomers don't have.
>>536152976Alcohol improves language learning in a multifaceted way. Getting drunk with chinks has given me secret esoteric knowledge.
>>536152828because a preroll is $10 at the dispensary if you want "one evening" of fun and people would rather be vulnerable in private since everyone has a cell phone and you never know when you'll end up going viral and your life getting ruined
>>536152828They can adapt or die
>>536153061>AustraliaOne of the most hilarious things I ever learned was that your accent comes from the fact that your ancestors were drunk pretty much 24/7
>>536152891I beg to differ
>>536152947youre black
>>536153008It also requires self control, which zoomers don't have. And confidence in free speech laws, which zoomers don't have. And hand-eye coordination, which zoomers don't have.
>>536152828they realized it's objectively retarded, just like casual sex that is not for the purpose of procreation
>>536153108Lol, you accent comes from Germans and old Spanish, that's why so many spellings make the same fucking sound and why you pronounce a bunch of short vowels as long ones. American English is offensively slow and drawling.
1. most people under 18 are not White, many muslim who don't drink2. most people under 18 are on pharmaceuticals3. youre gay4. weed is legal
>>536153142>And hand-eye coordinationWhat this nigga thinks gen z is doing when they try to drink
>>536152828Alcohol consumption is a social activity, no one goes out to socialize anymore
>>536152828it might be because alcohol is the shittiest drug imaginable>is a depressant most likely to be abused by people already depressed>releases dopamine so you can feel contented wasting years of your life drinking>feel good part of getting drunk lasts an hour at most before you feel like taking a nap or downright ill >the only medium of it that doesn’t taste like complete shit (beer) gives you bloating and IBS>makes you fat>ruins the skin on your cheeks and forehead>kills millions of people a year
Second time I got drunk I shit, vomited and passed out in the mess for a good 20 minutes. This was in 2005 so the only evidence of this is a granny 240p image on a phone in a drawer with no charger and stories from people I haven't seen in 20 years 1000 miles away, point is you'll have to dig and at best the only proof this even happened are fuzzy second hand memories. Repeat this less than 5 years later there's multiple 720p photos, attached to my name, profile and will always exist on the internet, 5 years after that its 1080p videos and 5 years after that its 4K videos.
>>536152828We can't. afford it.
It's stupidly easy to make your own for dirt cheap, like 10p a litre, but I guess they are really talking about bars and clubs.
>>536152828Can't afford it.
>>536153255Shit my SchizNik You bloddy cunt better watch what you be saying around these parts my Nigga we boniefied CRASH OUTS around these parts my YNs dont play no Cap FRFR we be Busssin on any OP NIGGA
When I was a young lad in my 20s, even going to a tourist trap like Temple Bar, a pint was around 5 euro, and considered a rip off at the time. I recently bought a pint to meet some American girl in that same pub, 15 years later and it cost me 17 euro. Wages also haven't really kept up with this. At my first "real job" after university, it was 30k before tax. That was considered "good" because I knew people that had similar degrees that were in the low 20s. But my rent was just 800. It seems like the bare minimum for a decent apartment now is more than double that, unless you want to live with junkies or niggers nearby (which I didn't have to do).There are also other reasons, like the fact that everyone is walking around with a camera in their pocket that can upload your drunked foolishness to the entire internet. Whereas in my 20s, I did make a fool of myself, but it wasn't really considered polite to be going around videoing everything. Now we have children that grew up with smartphones so they don't see any stigma whatsoever going to places like a restaurant, bar or concert, with the phone out. That taboo is long broken.That said, it's kind of a rite of passage for young men to go out and make fools of themselves. Alcohol does serve as a social lubricant and as long as it's just "social drinking" where you might just get into a state of tipsiness, it should be fine. Also being a young man you might feel you need the Dutch courage to approach women and just get it over with. That is one way to get over "social anxiety" but sadly if you never drink or even go out at all you will never get past it.
>>536153338Alcohol doesn't make you fat
>>536152828They aren't having sex either
>>536153407Learn to brew mein nigger. Cracking open a cold one with the boys is white culture.
A six pack of decent stella is almost 15 fucking dollarsDrinking at bars is expensive too, and you're rolling the dice on whether or not you'll either get with a chick or even have a conversation these daysI like alcohol but it's costly on not only your wallet, but body as well
>why is x>how come y>why does zKill yourself
>humanity isn't drinking anymore because of a psychological, not legal or functional changeGod is pleased. The original prohibitioners are pleased. God bless America. we are also stopping smoking cigarettes and smoking weed more often instead too. God bless this country.
>>536153445
>>536153329I drink aloooone.Yeah,yeah with nobody else.
>>536152828Gen Z got brought up by youtube and youtube will demonetize you if you promote any of that stuff. So uhm, kind of shit yourself in the foot there but still probably a worthy sacrifice.
>>536153283Yes precisely
>>536152828>Losing Lmao. The nerve of these kikes to cry about unrealized profits as if they were real loses
>>536152828>losingmaking less isn’t the same as losing
>>536152828because jews convinced them that it was uncslop so that they could hook them up on goynip and the other more aggressive forms of the modern version of well-poisoning
>>536152828My fellow Millennials we have to pick up the pace.
>>536152828Thanks for making this stupid fucking thread every week
>>536152828im a millenial that drinks when i grill but the beef is too expensive and the booze is too expensivethe bread and circuses are failing
>>536153079Or buy a vape for $50 totally legally, which will be enough to last weeks of casual, recreational use. The amount of money you have to spend relative to the amount of enjoyment you experience from consuming the substance is WAY out of whack. Vapes in particular are probably what should be regulated, if any of it is. That's the shit that kids can sneak around with, and those things are extremely strong. A lot of teenagers are high pretty much all the time now, and it's really not an exaggeration. Thank God I never tried it till I was in my thirties, kek. It would've ruined me as a teenager.Anyway, booze is expensive, and for a lot of people the side effects are difficult to moderate. Also don't believe anyone who tells you THC isn't addictive; I didn't have "old school" weed since I only tried it a couple of years ago for the first time, but I don't think they ever did studies on the addiction likelihood (idk how they measure that) for weed that's 28%+ THC, and that's just the average . Some fuckers claim to be 44% or 50% or some shit.Anyway, weed is addictive too and it's affordable and concealable and it's more dangerous to society than people probably think. It is just not very expensive to be high 24/7 and weed is strong enough now that you can probably keep that up for a couple of years before you have to take tolerance breaks (hello I have been high every day for 2 years and still make $98k and own a home, God Bless the USA).I'm going to go cold turkey for 6 months starting July 1st (moving into a new house and I want to start fresh and drop some of the bad habits).
>>536152828Weed. Literally.Every single zoomer I know carries a weed pen with them and hit it throughout the day like it was nicotine
>>536152828Many of them are products of their Gen X or Millennial parents drunken mistakes. I say good on it and fuck the alcohol industry. I will continue to drink however, until the state mandated child support ends
>>536152828Because Gen Z is Gaming?I guess !!!Isn't that clear at first sight?Huh?Are you slow or something?
>>536153643Nobody see's young people having real fun with a drink anymore, that's part of the problem. It's only a bunch of conformist lames. But they shut you down if your party gets out of hand.
>>536152828They are not losing $830 billion in the last 4 years. They just made $830 billion less than they thought they were going to make.
>>536152828Buy an ad you literally who
>>536153531yeah I suppose everyone in Milwaukee is a fat white nigger because they can’t stop eating 10 dollar McDonald’s cheeseburgers on their 40k a year job you goober
>>536152828Weed is cheaper and most young people only drink with friends.
>>536152828the state keeps marking shit up. The cost of all wine and beer is 1.995x the wholesale price. A bottle of mogen davidd, one of the cheapest wines is $4 because the state of ohio is greedy. A bottle of eiswein is $40. Soda is cheaper than alcohol. Nobody wants to spend 8 dollars on a bottle of wine at minimum.
>>536153615>The original prohibitioners are pleased.Ah yes the same retards that brought about the Federal Reserve, the 19th Amendment, NFA, and allowed Soviet Russia to exist instead of teaming up with Germany to destroy it
>>536152828Because everything zoomers do they record. And every zoomers worst fear is being considered or called cringe. No one wants to get drunk when they might end up being recorded doing something cringe. That and consent culture has made what would once be considered an embarrassing attempt at talking to a woman into a potential sexual harassment charge. Why bother?
>>536153142And the confidence that any fuckup you commit will not be on the internet forever so some faggot could get 5 seconds of attention.
>>536152828Can't speak for the rest, but I grew up with a lot of alcoholics in my family. I saw every christmas, thanksgiving, and birthday party ruined by fights and drunken rages. I saw relatives die from car accidents, and others ruin their lives. Nearly every marriage in my family ended in divorce due to drinking, and that's why I fear it. Call me a pussy if you want, but I never wanted that. I do not drink and never will. Same reason I don't do weed, since I had friends who do and now they're losers. I think the entire generation, even most millenials, went through this and don't want it in their lives.
>>536152828Death of third spaces.Pubs for boomers were local places where you could hang out with buddies from your community, know people and network.Bars nowadays are the same corporate soulless "use and go" concept used in chain restaurants, made so you pay, you consume, and you leave quick to make space for the next consumer when you're not going to pay more. It's no longer a community place.
>>536152828Alhamdulillah
>>536152828Drinking is a social lubricant, no one has friends or has sex anymore. It was never about drinking itself l, except for alcoholics.
>>536152828>wages too low to justify $5 beers>one fight or injury results in thousands in medical debt>women aren't putting out>life can be ruined by rape accusation if they doWhy would they. Can someone explain it to ME?
>>536153535Yeah, a €1000 investment upfront isn't the affordable option, buddy.
>>536154040Juist
>>536152828You can't drink while on Adderall, ssri's and weed. They're literally doing all other drugs except alcohol and coping by acting holier than older generations because they don't drink. That's all. Nothing else, no other reason.
>>536153061Tell me some secret esoteric knowledge
>>536152828They're not social and they'd rather smoke weed.
>>536153767>bread and circuses are failingjust the bread, as long as the electricity is flowing the circuses are assured.
>>536154055There are still places like that around here. "community" places. They're filled with lame degenerates who just sit and stare at each other.The envelope needs to be pushed to stir peoples emotions and desires. There is too much red tape and retarded social rules that arose out of this neo-liberal world order.
>>536152828>Anons why don’t you drink boomer poison?Cause I like myself
>>536152828>whybecause recreational 420 is now legal in 24 states and 40 allow medical 420
>>536154209The "gone forever" trick. If you lose something in a messy room just yell GONE FOREVER and it will immediately appear.
I heard its mostly losses from expensive wine going out of fashion and out of budget for millenials.
>>536152828Too expensive plus I enjoy making boomers seethe. Watching them cry over Applebees going bankrupt because I simply don’t care to support it has granted me much joy.
>>536152828Gen Z has a lower drive for sex and higher disdain for whores.Having sex with whores drives virtually all of youth drinking.
>>536153445Extremely gay retort, m8
>>536154352I'm going to try that next time I lose something
>>536152828Legal weed is eating Big Alcohol alive right now. Legally I can buy a 10 pack of 10mg edibles for $15-17 dollars. 30-40mg works out to be about $6-8 bucks, and is cheaper than one drink going out and I get fucked up all night AND wake up with no hangover. Dude weed lmao
>>536154201I think this is most of it. Zoomers are majority brown and browns are all on medicaid for their "disabilities" which means they get high quality pharmaceutical grade mind altering drugs for free. Add in weed which they love because all browns seem to and there you go.
>if you don’t give me money, I “lost” itIs that what they teach in Jewish accounting class?
>>536152828Alcohol is too expensiveThe main places where one consumes alcohol are in places like Restaurants, bars, and clubs and all three of which are too expensive. What you are witnessing is the complete collapse of the "consumer economy"There is also the fact that in todays world everything is recorded and Gen Z and Gen Alpha are terrified of being filmed while being "cringe" because they don't want to be "cancelled". If you could buy a 12 pack of beer for 4 bucks or less people would be drinking that instead of soda but even a 24 pack of soda is $23 these days.
>>536153772bro good look at a weed nugget......Any nigger telling you BRO THIS WEED BUD BRO IS TOTALLY 29% THC BRO LOOK AT THIS PLANT BRO ITS PURE THC BRO is a fucking retard and knows nothing about plants. Been smoking weed now for 18 years and these nigger PISS ME OFF
>>536153772The delta 8 vapes are weak as piss and most places can’t sell delta 9 carts.I strongly recommend anyone reading to not consume delta 8 products or vape anything.
>>536152828$10 drinks at the bar and Gen z is full of pussies that aren't social except for performing in front of a camera. They whine about not being able to talk to people but refuse the social lubricant used by humanity for the past couple thousands of years by pretty much every single civilization.
>>536153265> most people under 18 are on pharmaceuticalsI did not think about this. All the brainwashing drugs (ssri, etc) are supposed to not be mixed with alcohol.The roasties in my generation didn’t care and drank anyways, but younger kids are way more in line with “experts”
my liver hurts again :(
>>536152828too broke to drink. Seen the cost of most booze these days?Even cheap swill is expensive.There's also a lot of zoom zooms on medication that have nasty interactions with booze.I'm a millennial on blood pressure meds, a few sips knocks my blood pressure into the "dangerously low" territory. Off the meds I can outdrink a mexican in a tequila drinking contest.Plus anything worth a damn is too expensive these days
>>536154513>The main places where one consumes alcohol are in places like Restaurants, bars, and clubs and all three of which are too expensive.... and when you leave with a .10 alc. level, the five-oh is out there waiting for you. A single DUI, even if it's the first, will wreck your life and finances for years. Drinking outside of the home or having to drive after drinking is way too dangerous to risk. MADD killed alcohol. Drinking and driving used to be a sport.
>>536152828cum and piss and shit
>>536154696Hate it when that happens, i think a few pints might fix that.
>>536153329I think this is the answer. I still go out from time to time. I've only seen brocolli-headed zoomers drink beer and do shots with the bros once that I can remember. They were pretty cool and even offered us some. For the rest it's mostly young milennials like me actually in the bars. You can only buy three beers at a bar with one hour of minimum wage work nowadays so I don't blame 'em. I could buy like 6 when I was growing up.
You'll ruin your life with a DUI or minor consumption charge, all of which were legal and ok just a generation ago. Juice is not worth the squeeze plus you get drunk with a girl and fuck her she can say you raped her when you didn't, no upsides to it anymore but I'm not even getting into the health aspects either
I dink isopropyl alcohol
>>536154809>>536155766Absolutely thisCities are unsafe and expensive so you have to drive to get anywhere
>>536153061That's why no one can understand Scottish people. They're Celtic Shamans speaking to the hills.
>>536152828Because weed is better. The lumber and alcohol industry will be eternally butthurt that hemp is just a better product.
>>536152828How did zoomers become so powerful that they can collectively decide to completely annihilate multi-billion dollar industries from unconscious decisions alone?
>>536154539>most places can’t sell delta 9 carts.I'm talking about dispensary vapes. I live in New York. You can walk in and buy live rosin vapes that are identical to the real thing, because that's what it is. >>536154529I also started growing my own. Calm down. It is widely acknowledged that it's gotten significantly stronger, and they're talking about the concentration of psychoactive chemical in the part of the plant that contains ANY of it. In other words, the trichomes. The newer ones contain it in greater density than ever, and you're being unreasonably angry at chemical testing.It's the bullshit ones who claim it's 44% "diamond infused" that are horseshit .They just roll it in kief. The point I'm making is that it's possible to receive this in greater doses than ever at very low prices. I can walk into my dispensary and buy up to two ounces of weed. I don't have a medical card, it's full recreational. If I buy my two ounces and want a big variety, I can buy 16 eighths for under $300, or just a couple of ounces of one thing as low as $100 (usually on sale, that's very cheap for two ounces but it's surprisingly not bad weed, kek. I use it to make THC sugar).
>>536152828Are they sure it’s not from every comedian, singer, and faggot is making their “own” tequila or whiskey?
>>536152828Is this true in Europe or just America?
>>536154352It's worth a try.
>>536152828How are we going to fund Israel if alcohol taxes don't exist practically?
>>536155962The Boomers made that decision when they passed the buck on the housing crash.
>>536152828Bar are overpriced and empty.One worng move gets you fired without being drunk.Weed doesnt give you hangovrs.Gaming.>>536153265> many muslim who don't drinkMeme met enough muds who do, also walking thorugh your average city shows that they do all the drugs.>>536153394>Yes but how long is the wait time under NHS when I go blind?
>>536152828because they're like 25% muslim
>>536153852This is the real, serious answer that does not belong on 4chanBe outraged, you fucking beaner piece of shit! Threads wont slide themselves!
>inb4 the "hurr people don't have money for alcohol"Obligatory reminder that being poor has never stopped people from getting alcohol
>>536153079>and people would rather be vulnerable in private since everyone has a cell phone and you never know when you'll end up going viral and your life getting ruined>>536153339>>536153468>There are also other reasons, like the fact that everyone is walking around with a camera in their pocket that can upload your drunked foolishness to the entire internet.>>536154038>>536154040>>536154513>There is also the fact that in todays world everything is recordedVery good /pol/, many people had the correct answer. The panopticon explains not only the lack of drinking but many other social problems.And to be fair booze is a shit drug, but it's /our/ drug.
>>536154199No way. Learn some ingenuity, 200 euro max. But you need to put in the work.
2 reasons-you can't keep raising prices when young people can't afford shit, you can't gaslight them into thinking they 'should' afford shit, you destroyed 'third spaces' where men would go to meet women and get drunk with all the crap you did since 2012-alcohol tastes bad, know your audience, the average 18-32yo is vaping bubblegum cherry pie flavored smoke, instead of selling them "pisswater, not your daddy's beer" sell them raspberry marmalade light beer. The faux masculinity of boomers and beer culture in the US that revolves around shit tasting bad >>536152976 is why 21oys don't want it.>>536153079Also people are fucking hypochondriacs. I called a chick a stupid bitch once and her simps act like I raped and murdered her dog. Men are weak too, simping is lame.
>>536153772>Anyway, weed is addictive too and it's affordable and concealable and it's more dangerous to society than people probably think. It is just not very expensive to be high 24/7 and weed is strong enough now that you can probably keep that up for a couple of years before you have to take tolerance breaks (hello I have been high every day for 2 years and still make $98k and own a home, God Bless the USA).the programmer grift is ending soon, tick tok.
>>536152828The entire Gen Z is so bad. The culture is ruined. Fucking hell. I hate life so much.
>>536152828I'm doing my part niggers.8 pints Friday and Saturday nights.Day off today and ready for the wage cage tomorrow. Just got a little bonus in fact. Its shaping up to be a good summer.
>>536155964>most places can’t—>WELL SOME PLACES CANI fully concede to your superior argumentation, whiter skin, and bigger penis
>>536152828Because Gen Z isn't White
>>536156487Well this was done by jews using undesirable third worlders as pawns.It's not over yet.
>>536153061This is cope because you are a loser.
>>536156554But can you brew a nice pint of homebrew, is the question.
Good.They need to go back to quality spirits. Give us natural color, unfilter and higher strength. I'm sick of all this garbage ass booze.
>>536154160They want to gaslight you into feeling shame over responding to their fucked up bullshit world in the healthiest way possible, by simply disregarding it.
>>536152828Do you own Jack Daniels? Why do you post this every day
>>536156122The industry loses money whether people just don't drink or make their own alcohol.
The free market has spoken.
>>536156700No.I do grow some of my own vegetables though. Always taste better than the stuff from the supermarket, even the expensive ones.What do you brew?
>>536156782They're trying to figure out why people don't drink anymore so they ask over and over. We tell them over and over it's because there's no incentive to and NO ONE HAS ANY FUCKING MONEY. They still have yet to figure it out.
>>536152976God gave man alcohol to make our hearts merry. Drinking is good as lung as you moderate. Read the Bible and the world wont be so confusing you simpleton.
>>536152828drinking is degenerate.
>>536156848You should definitely learn to brew. I've brewed a few different ales. a lager and a couple different ciders too. Wine is looking like the next logical move. I don't grow many vegetables myself, I'm more of a bean/grain farmer.But it's all been just as good if not better than store bought in some aspects.
>>536152828I just don't like the taste
>>536153565No matter how many times I have been to the bar I have never once "rolled the dice" because women find me repulsive on an instinctive level that my mere approach sends them running. So I drink alone at home now, or better I go hiking and get drunk and high.
>>536152928Yup... financially few drinks and you are 100 down.
>>536156782>>536156862Generally people want answers but not answers that mean they have to change a lot. I think the correct answer is the phones, but what would you have to do to remove the phones from everyone's life?>Um...can we get a different answer then?Human, all too human.
>>536152828It's poison
>>536152828>FinancesA beer is about $10 at a bar after tip. When millennials were in their 20's, it was $2 or $3, maybe up to $5 if it was a nice IPA. This is without considering non-optional things like rent and groceries are 2-3x the price as well.>Debilitating for other entertainmentAlmost all entertainment apart from socializing in person is on a phone or a computer. Alcohol makes that kind of activity difficult.>Easier to ruin your life than everEvery previous generation could get blackout drunk and hugely embarrass themselves. Maybe have their friends mad at them. At worst, they'd burn some bridges and have to move on socially. But now everything out of the ordinary gets recorded, people never go away they follow you online, post about you, etc. An ugly night of too much to drink can ruin your life now.>DUI lawsDUI laws were a slap on the wrist for boomers, a little heavier for gen X, but reckoning for millennials and younger. There's also such a strong stigma now that not only does it financially wreck you, it makes you look like a horrible person.This is the whole reason millennials are so obsessed over walkability. They wanted to be able to have a life. You can't reasonable go out regularly when you have to drive to the bars.>FitnessHeavy beer consumption makes you fat and bloated. "Dad bod" is out. Looksmaxxing is in. Both men and women are obsessing over it now.
>>536152828Zoomers are smoking weed and abusing fent and pills
>>536152928Alcohol doesn't track with inflation the way other things do so that's a head scratcher.
>>536153921Bulk wine is ~$1/gal right now.
>>536152828>Why is Gen Z not drinking?They are mostly muslims and alcohol is haram in Islam
>>536152828WOW.HOLY SHIT.OMG.I'VE NEVER SEEN A THREAD LIKE THIS ON /POL/.
>>536152947you can shit post a lot more when you aren't shit faced. you fall asleep for too often too long
>>536157301Forgot a couple of big ones..>#MeTooYou can't just hit on women the same way previous generations did. Women not only can, but have incentive to, act like you're being a creep. It lets them be the center of attention from others and also gives them clout because now they can boast some guy hit on them. It's a mine field now.>Social climate generallyIt's gotten better, but woketards still hate non-woketards are wish to do them harm by any means they can. You don't know what you might say or do that signals you're not one of them. They have their own fucking lingo they use for constant signaling that they're part of the cult. Nobody wants to pay money to interact with strangers if it's a coinflip that the slightest thing will get them trying to cancel you in public, or pulling out their phone calling you a racist.
>>536157327It's the establishments overhead. Labor & rent are fully insane right now. If a glass of wine is $15, that's about how much they paid for the entire bottle. That $16 cocktail has $2 in ingredients max. All this, and the restaurants & bars are still going out of business.
>>536152828because they are druggies
>>536152828drinking is something you do with your friends when you meet up with them in person in your free timeGen Z does not do this because1. they don't have friends, and if they do2. they don't meet up with them in person but mostly over internetthe whole healthy lifestyle and alcohol tastes bad arguments are way beyond this
>>536157147I'm in my first house and my garden is quite small. I can afford a bigger place but am keeping the powder dry to stay flexible for career reasons.When I get the bigger place, I'm scaling up the vegetable growing for sure. Have learned a lot experimenting with a relatively small patch. Hadn't thought about making my own beer but now that you mention it, that's probably something I should do when I have more space.Cheers anon.
>go to bar>get pat down by fat nigger bouncer>spend 50 bucks on 3 beers>bathrooms smell and have people doing hard drugs>two choices when leaving: either call an expensive cab/rideshare (you'll get instantly pulled over by the local zogbots if you hop in your own car) or walk and risk getting mugged
>>536153140This vexes me.
>>536157845That sounds awful.The mistake you've made is living around too much diversity.
>>536152828>Why is Gen Z not drinking?Dating apps destroyed dating and "night life". Check alcohol sales at bars and clubs. I'm sure they're taking a nosedive.Before dating apps, women had to go out to get attention, and men went out to give women that attention. That was the only option. Single people actually mingled, because that's all anyone had. The "mingling" doesn't happen anymore. Women use "dating" apps to arrange dates, and then go out on those dates, the two functioning as a proto-"couple", instead of two single people, bouncing around chatting with random people. >dating apps destroyed the alcohol industry
>>536154160drinking with friends is fun, a bottle of decent whisky is only like 25$ at a store
>>536157542My family had just opened a restaurant when COVID came along. Obviously didn't work out, but had me focused on the topic when it was happening.They operate on razor thin margins and are way more work than people realize. A successful restaurant, maybe a 9% margin. Most? 1-2%. Overhead, as you said, is insane. Rent, utilities, payroll (granted, most staff is not full time and tip workers can cost less. Your chef and prep cooks can't), food, alcohol. The food and beer have literal expirations and need to be curated carefully.So COVID comes along and the media does everything it can to scare people out of going to restaurants. Then food prices double. Then the price of everything else doubles. Simultaneously there's a big social push to pretend service industry jobs should pay full wages on top of the tips. By the time lockdowns end, the social climate is terrible and nobody wants to go hang with strangers. They've also become accustomed to eating and drinking in the comfort of their homes.I called it at the time, restaurants will become something reserved for the wealthy or special occasions and this foodie culture of the 2010's was over.
>>536152828You can't inject hrt hormone supplements and drink at the same time do they don't. Troons destroy everything
>>536152828They're all on psych meds.
>>536152828This is a bit deceptive, as a zoomer I drink but I don't get beers or cocktails at a bar instead, instead me and friends pool money for a leter of liquor, and we drink it at a friend's house, or in the ally of a city, way more affordable
People bringing up the cost of drinking: the average price of alcohol has increased less than the average inflation of consumer goods. The reason younger millennials/Gen Z drink less is because of cultural reasons, not economic. They prefer other drugs. I was at an edm festival recently, really feeling my age. Some people were drinking but almost everyone was opening smoking, vaping, taking pills, and snorting cocaine. And a lot of that was around before - but people were doing that and also drinking alcohol. Now it seems the younger crowd has eschewed drinking in favor of the other vices entirely. I also think the long term effects of 21+ laws, drunk driving laws, harsher underage drinking penalties, and reduced frat/sorority culture has played a part.
>>536157977You can try to reduce it down to numbers, but it goes beyond that.
>>536157811Checked. We've progressed past the age of refinement. This is an age of trailblazers again.

>>536152828Isn't Gen Z like 15 years old? Millennials are speed running their inevitable evolution into evil boomers and blaming literal children for not being alcoholics. Sad.
>>536152828I'm too lazy to look up the laws about when I can and can't buy alcohol that's the sole reason I've never drank.
>>536158391The oldest Gen Z were born in 1997. Statistically for 4chan, you are a zoomer.
>>536156570>>>WELL SOME PLACES CANAnon, this will soon be in every state. I'm just pointing out what I've seen develop in New York over the past couple of years. Once these things are available in your state, maybe you'll understand, but right now it's a big problem here and it doesn't seem like anyone's noticed that there's a trend going on.
When I started drinking and having parties in high school a keg was 35 bucksthe most you would pay for a 12 pack was 7 bucks15 years after that I was still buying a good six pack for 5 bucksNow it's 15 bucksGoing to a bar downtown lolParking 30 bucksCover 20 bucks One beer 12 bucks 62 bucks and I'm one beer in looking at women stare at their phonesFuck that

>>536152828I miss drinking, but my body developed a built in defense mechanism to stop myself from getting proper drunk, so it's not worth it any more.
>>536157977>So COVID comes along and the media does everything it can to scare people out of going to restaurants.Out here in Caliwali, the Police and city physically blocked off and fenced off restaurants & bars. Arresting people for trying to stay open. Sorry about your failed restaurant, fren.
>>536152828>40 dollars for a liter of standard vodka that tastes questionably poor even if importedFUCKOFFBOOMER
>>536152828Because it tastes like fucking acid, the fuck you mean stupid nigga
It's a social lubricant, and they literally took socialization out back and shot it in the fucking head.Can't hit on women, can't fight without some nigger deciding it's worth 25 to life, can't roam the street like a majestic, drunk buffalo. What are zoomers supposed to do? Show up and overpay for the shit so they can sit at the bar with the divorced dads that got fucked in the divorce?
>>536159004Mine too. It's called acid reflux. Fucking bullshit.
>>536152828Drinking was a part of the social contract ((they)) went ahead and shredded up decades ago. The only people left drinking are sad pieces of shit like me.
>>536152828It's got fuck all to do with 'gen z.' It's non-whites being in pubs and clubs and the smoking ban.
>>536153777this as well. i dunno how they do it, but they do it. theyre vaping some fancy shit in the mall or movie theater. i didnt realize until recently just how balls to the wall this younger generation really is
>>536158654The thread is about booze, not your daddy's cum.
>>536159132alcohol had to go. Drunk people have fun, meet people and have (risky) sex. Oy gevalt, can't have that.
>>536153079>paying 10 bucks for a prerollNigga those are 2 bucks a pop at the native grow-op.
>>536158734>I've always wanted to try it myself and wondered how it tastes.It's great, but obviously not worth the meme price.
>>536152828>Spend 60 dollars on booze>maybe drunk for 3 days>Spend 60 dollars on weed>stoned off your ass for a month straight maybe longerHave you ever fucked on weed btw? Because it's about 5x better than fucking sober. I mean thc today they go up to like 35% it's insane. 2 inhales and I'm blasted off my ass. I only buy booze to enjoy the taste now unironically. they also tax the fuck out of booze, like 25% of the cost is just taxes and fees here. Fuck off honestly. Cut your booze costs in half and maybe you'll catch up to weed
>>536153777Getting drunk and high is a pretty good combo.
>>536156117>>536153852they still write it off their taxes LMAO
>>536159404all big ass blunts are not the same, broseph stalin
>>536159180My brain will just black out to stop me from getting drunk. Which sucks because you still get the hangover.>Nope, we're not doing any more of this, lights off
You can't get drunk without being recorded or ending up with rape charges if you had sex with another drunk woman while drunk. Zoomers also don't like to socialize they think their screentime = socializing. And weed and better legal narcotics are available because anyone can get a script for benzos or Adderall. It's also expensive to go out, a bar used to be the place you could go to relax after work and the cost was negligible, now thanks to higher costs + tip culture it ends up very expensive, $10 a beer total is not that unusual. Also due to millennials it feels like most bars don't want to serve cheap beer but want to serve gay overpriced IPA slop, you used to be able to get pitchers of beer for cheap. Finally, we simply live in a 'diverse', low trust, polarized shitty society now, no one wants to get drunk with people who hate you. It's why I hate going to the company Christmas party, I don't like my coworkers who are all ultraleft soi faggots, I can't get drunk because I might reveal my power level so instead have no more than a single beer. The fact that no one drinks anymore shows there's something very rotten about society and is a very ominous sign.
>>536159418Sounds great, wish I could try a sip now. I'll probably never be able to though, for the foreseeable future as our communist overlords have completely banned cross border liquor trade.If only we had a burger hero who would deliver some.
>>536153339Did you shid and Fard, too?
>>536159612>completely banned cross border liquor trade.wait what? canada doesnt get any imports?
>>536152828As a millennial that survived highschool and college in the 2000s where it was all about ALCOHOL ALCOHOL ALCOHOL ALCOHOL this is so satisfying to see. Fuck yah. For any zoomie reading this is was pretty goddamn bad and thats not an exaggeration. People were so fucking obsessed with getting drunk and bragging about it constantly.
Alcohol tastes bad
Gen ZEngaging in abstinence Low consumption of alcohol Not taking shit from “me too” broadsSeems as if Society is trying to correct it’s nonsensical waysGod is Good
Buying alcohol at a liqour store is a depressing prospect, and I'm not paying 15 dollars for a drink with less than two ounces of alcohol at a restaurant. So I don't drink.
>>536158734There is a sweet spot in terms of aging. Too old its overpriced and the flavor gets over impacted. Too fresh not enough time for to be properly infused. Not to mention they now have these sonic infusers they use to make counterfeit that tastes just like the real thing for not even a fraction of the price. So nowadays its overpriced and how do you even know its the real thing anymore?>>536157977Restaurants were always a razor thin margin business even way before Covid. Only ones with good profit margins were the ones that catered to the rich. Condolences though. Some of the toughest businesses to get into but very few people realize that for some reason, despite the sky high failure rate.
>>536157093>poisoning yourself is good as long as you moderatenever has been true, factually wrong
>>536159717Some provinces have the provincial government manage imports and sales of all alcohol within them. Just so turns out that this makes the LCBO the single-largest reseller of alcohols in the world, which after the USA decided it wanted to wage economic warfare against Canada, the LCBO decided they didn't want to do business with the USA and stopped buying for resale.
>>536152828>2pbtidSlide threadHowever, the answer is simple, to fucking expensive.
>>536152828Based. Fuck the liquid jew
>>536152828It's expensive, it makes you retarded, it's worse for your health than even hard drugs, and it makes you fat. The real question is why did anyone ever drink?
>>536153329kys jew
>>536152828Young people are hyper image based and live in a 24/7 digital panopticon. Nobody's going to drink the "makes you act like a retard juice" and get caught on camera pissing themselves, or drunkenly hitting on some girl and having their life ruined the next day when it gets put up on tiktok
>>536152828Drugs are cheaper, better and last longer. The price of drinks on a night out are crazy compared to drugs, a few drinks in and you could have a weeks worth of weed, a few more drinks and a months worth of ketamine, a few more drinks and chuck some pills in too. Now why the fuck would anyone chose a single night out with some drinks over a nice selection of drugs that will last much longer.
>>536153607kek
>>536152828The cost of going out to a bar for a night and if your buying drinks for a girl your with you will easily spend something like 80 dollars. That is like 4 hours of working for the average wagie. People would rather smoke weed back at home or just not do vices at all.
>>536153061>>536155914>Alcohol improves language learning in a multifaceted way. Getting drunk with chinks has given me secret esoteric knowledge.>That's why no one can understand Scottish people. They're Celtic Shamans speaking to the hills.Lel also the Irish
>>536154693>I did not think about this. All the brainwashing drugs (ssri, etc) are supposed to not be mixed with alcoholThis never stopped anyone from drinking you dumb faggot. Every pill should not be mixed with alcohol. Nothing should be mixed with alcohol because alcohol is bad.
>>536153852Well put. It really sounds like they are entitled that every year the same amount of their product has to be bought.
>>536152828With the amount of cellphones out there, you would be a complete fool to drink nowadays. I used to get drunk and yell nigger and smoke cigarettes in Frisch's big boy, I couldn't imagine getting away with shit like that now without becoming famous on the internet.
>>536153329This. Crazy it took this many posts and a jew for someone to post the correct answer.
>>536152828I hate the way alcohol makes me feel, so there's no reason for me to drink it regularly.
>>536157963Weed nigga... Izzz you dum?

>>536154352imma try that next time you fucking cunt
>>536152828As a millennial, I used to drink, but not having a job kind of makes it useless because no job with stable money means why social drink to pick up chicks. In this day, most zoomers probably think women aren't worth the trouble anyways, so why drink.
>>536157977>restaurants will become something reserved for the wealthy or special occasionswitnessed. What we are living through is a reversal of the list WW2 golden age, everything is reverting to the historical norm and that process will continue. regular dining out, long distance travel for pleasure / vavations, college educations, retirement - these things will go back to being for the wealthy.
>>536152828can't afford it on their phones instead demographics
>>536157977Protip buy 6 microwaves and sell microwave meals on Uber Eats while saying they're restaurant quality. Maybe touch them up by putting a leaf and couple twists of pepper on them lmao.
British pubs were hubs of the community. Now the community is brown people who don't speak English. They don't go to the pub and the whites don't feel like it anymore because the browns have ruined community cohesion.
>>536152828I'm not spending more than what the bottle costs for a glass of wine. Fuck that shit
>>536152891this. I like competitive games, and drinking makes you really good, until it doesnt, and then you call your teammates niggers and get chat banned again.
>>536160343The cost in general is just too much to have a culture based around it desu. It's on par with a luxury habit. You cannot expect a normie to be able to take part in that. Sad.

I’ve been a gamer since I was booting into DOS in diapers to get into my little games. played wow for over a decade, used to have all the consoles. I stopped gaming and drinking (and I drank A LOT) to raise family better, but I used to drink and game routinely. you guys just suck if you can’t handle a beer and controller or keyboard. In fact it’s one thing I miss most, cold beer or a nice icy margarita and a night of gaming.
>>536152828The industry hasn't lost anything. They're not entitled to your money.
>>536152828Alcoholic here. Drinking isn’t all that great in an age when regular guys can’t just get laid here and there without a #meetoo happening.
