Hangovers are terrible and as you get older you can’t bounce back as fast anymore. Millennials for the most part are in their 30s (those born 1981-1984 are now 40+ and 1995/1996 are 28/29 yrs old now) and aging out of the hardcore drinking. Or at least I hope so. Also alcohol cost $$$
what happened in 2015 that caused women to start binge drinking more lol
Naw, it just means we’re over 25 now
Binge drinking is also somewhat social. Something that age group has fallen dramatically in since they were the first to develop with smart phones and social media.
Curious what the definition of binge drinking here is.
Also, this has nothing to do with people getting older, as some here implied. The ages are held steady here, so it’s people in that age band over time (meaning the pool of people changes, but no one older than the band is sampled).
Two options…
1. Go to some bar where everyone is drinking way more than is fun. Everyone spends more time in the toilets doing coke then in the actual bar. Chance of being assaulted – sexually for women or violently for men is way higher.
2. Get stoned at home with your mates, have pizza and playing some wii sports golf.
If women weren’t at bars, I’m sure that my mates would never pick option 1.
I’m always surprised when I see married people in clubs, they must love drugs or something
Ah! This is why the youth doesn’t have sex anymore. Lack of alcohol.
Cannabis helped me getting out cravings for tobacco, also a safest drunkness compared to alcohol (cannabis is bad for young brain but protects the aging brain later). It has been soon 5 years I did not take any pills like benzos or opiates. Also I became addicted to swimming and considering finding a partner and leaving pot. I feel like this is a very bad attitude for economy ?
It’s too expensive to drink at home with friends or even alone.
It’s not just that. The kids these days are real Melvins. They drink *and* smoke a lot less. Less sex too.
It’s not religion either. Church attendance is way down.
Man I used to love binge drinking during that time. Those kids are missing out.
Waterfall,
Edward 40 hands,
Kings cup,
Beer bongs,
Drunk hookups,
Drunk singing by campfire,
Drunk tailgating,
Drunk dancing,
Rizzing (did I use that right?) adults to get us booze
Seriously wtf kids?
Fuck that y axis… this is so misleading
This is good but also far less exciting.
Rick from Rick and Morty was the last cool binge drinker. Drinking has been downhill ever since.
The real reason politicians don’t want to legalize weed federally. Alcohol and tobacco lobby don’t want competition.
I haven’t had a drink in 10 years and not missing it
A cocktail at dinner cost close to $20 now. Plus there is getting home afterwards. I’m in my late 40s now and a few drinks does me in for the next day. Do an edible or couple puffs, I get the same feeling and don’t feel like I’m hit by a truck the next day. Plus it’s cheaper.
