   Alcohol consumption is down a lot for younger people and that’s probably for the best.

   As a person who used to center alcohol, I cut it completely 2 years ago and never looked back. The degree to which many societies normalize binge drinking (the UK for sure and also most of corporate life in East Asia) is scary and I’m starting to see friends succumb to various illnesses related to drinking.

     @alansuspect I actually enjoy the taste of a lot of shitty beer and NA beers give me that now. Not recommended for people for whom even a 0.05% of alcohol is a trigger, but for me it keeps the social and taste aspect I want

     @skinnylatte coming from the UK and growing up in a heavy drinking culture I know what you mean. I moved to Australia ~10 years ago (similar drinking culture too) and me and my wife quit completely 2.5 years ago. Best decision we ever made.
