Frankly, alcohol is expensive and a hassle to bother with, and that’s before the fact that my body doesn’t handle it very well lately.
Sure, it tastes alright, but that’s just alright compared to a nice cup of coffee, tea, or juice, which is all easier and faster to get, you can drink it anywhere and as much as you want, and generally tastes better. Why wouldn’t it taste better when most recent alcoholic beverages are trying to copy the flavour of normally non-alcoholic drinks?
Modern society is generations away from being under the pressures of hard, painful, and dreary work where you need a depressant to forget how difficult your work day has been, and the current youth’s not only forgotten why people needed such drinks in the past, but are even detached from the customs to drink such even from a traditional standpoint.
Not to mention that they have weed and vapes if they want to feel like some “badass deviants” as well.
The average person no longer feels the pressure to rely on alcohol they did in the past, not personal or peer in variety, so it’s no wonder that sobriety is becoming the norm.

Where is it becoming the norm? More common, maybe, but on the whole the vast majority of people I meet on a regular basis drink in some capacity.
