    No. It’s a deeper change than that. Young people also aren’t just grabbing some alcohol and hanging out at each other’s apartments/houses drinking, at least not as much as prior generations.

      I mean, I don’t know if I’m part of the trend or not as someone in his mid 20s who rarely ever drinks, but many of my mates don’t drink at all, and when we hang out there’s little alcohol, we also tend to play online games etc a lot. Going to a bar sounds quite bothersome and unnecessary tbh. But I don’t know if I’m too old to be part of this trend.

      In any case, I see little conceptual value in bars, at least to me. I can buy alcohol for stuff we do at home if I even want to drink (not often).
