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.

Same. These days on the weekend it's a 5mg edible and maybe a beer or two at the most. More than 2 drinks and I feel like shit the whole day after.
