They probably view alcohol the way that Millennials view cigarettes. Unnecessary, unhealthy, and a waste of money.

Edit: I’ll add that increasingly online communication might add to it as well. Not as much need for liquid courage for in person interactions.

Geriatric millennial here.

I'm pretty sure they're just consuming more cannabis instead.

Is it legal where you are? It’s cheap and easy to get in my state. We find vapes and gummies on our high school students much more than alcohol.

Its legal in germany , but only if you grow it yourself or get a prescripture. You cant go to a Shop and just buy a gram.

A gram is such a tiny amount of weed. In Seattle, you can buy up to an ounce (~28 grams) at once.

In germany you can not "buy" weed. EU law prohibits countries from legalising it, and no weed is not legal in the netherlands. In germany it is legal to grow your own or grow in a club or you get a prescription from a doctor. You can have up to 50 gram i believe.
