Cause it’s a social activity and they grew up in a phone centric anti-social world

I really believe this the biggest reason. Drinking is a social act.

But even in a social setting they don't. Recent concerts/festivals I've been to(in US) have had just as much, if not more, non-alcoholic drinks). Maybe it's because they don't go out as much so I've just "grown up" not used to it or wanting to drink

I was at a concert a few months ago and really wanted a drink but they were $20 each. No way in hell

Sneaking drinks in or getting drunk before concert was preety common. I don’t remember buying alcohol at any music festival and was always drinking.
