This is a very serious problem. The next generation is going to grow up and be super lame. The coolness gap is a serious threat to our nation al security.

By that metric, I had to stop drinking because I was way too fucking cool all the time 😄
Coming up on 9 years in roughly a month and a half 🥳

It’s ok brother just like we all get vaccines in part to protect those who can’t, so too will we aspire to backfill the alcoholic coolness in solidarity with those who are unable to contribute themselves. For England.

yeah but more people are using weeds and other shi now so I think it balances out

Does that mean the price of liquor is gonna drop? Cause NOT SO FAR.
empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Other way around. Modern capitalism dictates that as sales drop, prices must rise so profits can remain the same or continue increasing.
stickyprimer@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Probably, yeah, because as the casuals drop out, only hardcores will remain, and they are frankly willing / compelled to pay more. So they will.

Yeah about that… nothing modern about it. That’s what it was supposed to be by the old observations when people had actual scarcity of … wheat and corn or whatever.
It doesn’t work for alcohol today. There are still people doing moonshine brew because it can’t get cheap enough. The demand will never reach a bottom nor a peak.
It’s layers of markets. If you can’t sell your shit brew at “market price” you can always dump the price and reach a new market of bottom feeders or go the other way and pay influencer to make a silly drinking game to make artificial scarcity in the upper market.
There’s always enough supply and demand that everything is possible.
yaroto98@lemmy.world 1 month ago
With fewer people smoking, the price of cigs sure didn’t drop.

Now that… That is interesting man. I’ve never thought about that.
But WHY?!

With the world going to shit, drinking helps. Something will kill you sooner or later.
pitiable_sandwich540@feddit.org 1 month ago
Then why not something special like heroin or meth? Go out with a bang and all. Or reject reality and do LSD, DMT or shrooms? Alcohol is so basic, smh…
k0e3@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
Yeah, I like weed and shrooms, but they’re super illegal where I live now, I fortunately.
imvii@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
We can get LSD by mail in Canada now, It’s cheap and the quality is amazing.
M137@lemmy.today 1 month ago
Don’t worry, I’m drinking enough for several people so it evens out.

If you’re a millennial like I am, I feel like we’re the Atlas for the alcohol industry, lmao.

Hit em where it hurts, cut alcohol, sugar, fat foods, …
Be healthy AND make em squirm? Count me in.

Alcohol kind of sucks compared to other drugs. Anything alcohol does something else does a lot better with less liver damage.

they lobby against weed in the usa so if you’re living here maybe don’t

I don’t even have alcohol at home anymore.
honesthenery@thelemmy.club 1 month ago
I smoke weed i don’t regret my actions… I drink and if I am lucky I don’t wind up in jail. The same with the cocain. Devils lurk in this body and the weed keeps them in permajail

It’s so hot, I have to drink salts to prevent headaches. What on earth would I want alcohol?
HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 1 month ago
I bet it’s been replaced by the Devils lettuce (in the US at least).
lengau@midwest.social 1 month ago
Honestly so much cheaper too (at least in Michigan).
JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
And healthier.
I mean I neither drink alcohol nor toke, but I’ve heard mj is the lesser of the two evils, for those who can’t resist mind-altering substances.

I mostly use alcohol to desinfect equipment since it’s a cell poison.

So the price of whisky is gonna be reasonable again, right?..right?..
k0e3@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
I really enjoy the mellowing out effect but I have that crappy East Asian gene (or lack of specific genes?) that can’t process alcohol so I turn red and get headaches right away. You guys will have to drink for me.
zakobjoa@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yeah, we all gotta pick up the pace. It’s not gonna drink itself.
I’m doing my part!

I make a mean Manhattan. Dubonnet instead of vermouth, and drunken cherries. Just enough Dubonnet to change the whiskey’s colour
