After reading through comments, I'm just glad that Gen Z drinks less than Gen Y (that drinks less than Gen X (that drinks less than a subsequent gen, boomers probably)), because

* I should not have to explain why I don't drink, simple 'no' suffices

* I should not have to listen, that alcohol is not too bad/is completely harmless/is fine in moderation/is actually required in social life

And the best thing - they do it completely voluntary (or maybe because it's crazy expensive, but the outcome is still good, so...)

As for the local denialists: we live in poluted cities walking around polution generating machines just meters apart from them. Yes, it is unhealthy, but it is our choice to live like that, because EVs aren't that prevalent yet and living in the woods in a hut would not be enough for most

Go, smoke cigarettes, drink wine and hit a pot once in a while if you need it. It's your life. 0 alcohol intake is a recomendation, not a requirement. It is harmful, people should consider for themselves if they need it as copium or for the taste or for whatever else reason

It shouldn't be argued "but how much is bad-bad compared to just sligtly bad, where's my curve?". Make the curve for yourself, consider your situation and your needs

Why does it always have to be a generation clash?

Besides, nobody outside the Us thinks this way. You are being pushed one against each other.
