   > while young people are drinking less alcohol due to health and financial concerns

   My observation is that gen-z spends less time socializing in real life, and drinking remains a social habit for the most part at a younger age. While they drink less, cannabis, vaping and psychedelics are on the rise.

   It's a nice claim to say they are more responsible, but it tells an incomplete story.

      Is beer drinking also on the decline?

      Or are we saying that wine drinking is significantly more social than beer drinking?

      It's "interesting" that this new isolationist culture we've built for ourselves is causing economic problems

         Yes, beer is down too, and these are global trends.

         In Germany beer is down 20% in a decade, and 33% since 2000.
