With almost all 20-somethings I meet in California, I tend to assume that they don’t drink alcohol and I’m often right. Alcohol is as cool as tobacco here now. Not at all. No wonder bars are really struggling.
The only people I know here who are really into booze now are elderly millennials and Gen X and Boomers.
(I’m renting a place in Monterey, and everyone is sober)
@skinnylatte @skinnylatte I didn't start socializing (drinking) until very late in my age. In my country, it's the opposite, you start drinking very late from 1am to 5am (coffee shops close from 9 to 10 p.m) and alcohol and good wine is super cheap (4$ a bottle of whiskey i.e.) and with an alcohol culture that i's kind of a good thing. I used to be the weirdo with few friends, the literally 99% of my circle drank into near ethyl coma. Now I drink moderately and I'm fine with that. I think I wasted a little time going against the grain. There has to be room for everyone. Young people drink and smoke less now. But I don't know, life is short, and without some vice it's boring.
