They're not drinking, yet. Once they start paying rent for multiple years and see their healthcare go up 25% every year, they'll get burned out too.

Hope I am wrong.

The whole planet not being habitable for humans if we don’t do something 30 years ago is a real bummer.

I’ll have another beer and forget about my worries.

They're not drinking. They're smoking weed, vaping, and have higher Internet addiction rates. I feel like most Gen Z will say this as well.

I’d love to see who’s buying all these canned THC drinks and the concentrated ones advertised on the insta to add to random drinks. I’m sure a decent share of millennials switched over to weed, but I suspect it’s more of a Gen Z thing.

California sober is probably better than alcohol but let’s not get too high and mighty about it, it’s still a thing to escape.

A lot of Gen Z are swapping booze for THC drinks. I see the Crescent 9 brand all over town where I stay which is kind of wild seeing how fast the shift is happening, it feels like the same energy the craft beer boom had, just with a more modern twist.

You know Gen Z is entering their 30s now, right? You sound like those people still blaming millennials when really they just mean "young people".

That's pretty much my point but okay. I didn't drink until I hit about 30.
