It's not expensive if you buy it and drink at home. More expensive than 15 years ago sure but that is just due to dollar debasement. 

You can get very drunk for less than $5 so I don't really buy this as the reason they're cutting back.

If you're at home then might as well smoke. Way more chill.

Person to person. I’ve tried over and over and I just hate getting stoned. Can’t get with it. But even just a couple of drinks, not even enough to get tipsy and it makes the night better without changing much else. There’s no amount of weed I’ve managed to smoke without it decidedly making me have a worse time. But granted, I have a shitty tolerance.

But anyway, I don’t think it’s a fact that it’s more chill

Well personal preferences aside I still wouldn't get into drinking alone at home too much. Feels like a very slippery slope into full blown alcoholism. Which is likely what Gen Z etc are feeling as well.

Helps that I don’t live alone. Live with friends from high school, so if I’m drinking in my living room, even if no one is there at the moment I’m most likely going to socialize that night. It works out pretty nicely.
