[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m experiencing a strange thing where my 40 something peers are exerting peer pressure on each other to drink and meanwhile the teenagers are very low-key and let each other do their thing. I didn’t see that coming.[/quote]

Interesting. The last time I got together with mom friends, all of us in our 40s and 50s, there were definite comments towards people who didn’t drink or even ones who didn’t have a second drink.

My kids say no one cares.  [/quote]

So true about women in their 40s-50s, they don’t accept when someone won’t drink. Yet young adults are perfectly fine with it. [/quote]

So interesting that others have commented this too. I notice the same thing. Not just women in 40-50s but men too.  Much socializing seems to depend on alcohol - people still going to clubs/bars or drinking at get togethers/parties. Lots of social media posts of middle agers with drinks in their hands.  Don't see that as much with the young adults. Does our generation not know how to have fun w/o alcohol?[/quote]
