| Drinks are $15+ each. Even happy hour prices are steep. That's why young people don't go out. |

I’m in my 60s. I felt like I reached my maximum lifetime consumption of alcohol so I stopped. Also, I have heart disease.
But I really miss a good wine buzz from a bottle of Chardonnay. Our dining out bill is significantly lower even when I order the most expensive meal on the menu. And I lost weight. |

| I get the worst nights sleep now after drinking even a small amount. Drinking is reserved for very rare occasions once or twice a month - and only because I really do enjoy it. The ruined next day is a steep price. |

I think it's a mix of being health-conscious and prices being too high. House wine at a not even nice place is now $8. It just feels stupid.
And men don't want a beer belly, college kids are into working out and healthy living, women are more aware of peri/menopause issues and how drinking does not help with those. |

| Kids get their dopamine off scrolling on their iPhones. And also kids can communicate with friends and opposite sex on their phones 24/7. |

| Just take a look at the faces of older women who drank regularly...they don't age well. |

Wine has been in decline for years. Look at Tequila. Look at Surfside. Look at Guinness. |

Been doing it for 30+ years. No psychosis yet. |

I’ll take fun and fellowship over vanity. Age comes for all of us eventually. |
