i ask all these gen z bartenders what their favorite bar is and they say they don’t go to bars. did drinking end at millennials

Maybe the gen Z bartenders you asking are legally allowed to work but not legally allowed to drink.
It's wild because I feel like I caught the last train. Not that drinking is great, it's not, but gosh to be 22 and getting ready to go to the clubs with my girlfriends was such a fun night out! I feel sad for young folks now that they don't have that. But maybe folks my parents age were sad for us that we didn't have the pure cocaine of the 80s 🤣
bars are lame. It's mostly just men and at the end of the night, there is many testosterone filled upset men they couldn't pick up so they end up fighting. Gen Z is not the problem. The problem is the government tells businesses owners how to run their bars so you end up with boring lame bars. If bar owners were allowed to run their own bars without government intervention, it would be much more fun. Go to Asia and the bar scene is much more fun.

I'm a millenial and I was almost always the designated driver back in the early 2010s because I didn't drink alcohol.
I think it's probably one of the better aspects of inflation. I don't know who can afford to get drunk at a bar once or twice a week these days.

Alcohol drinking is danger to your health while sitting in the bar drinking cola is not !

Gen Z can’t afford to go out. They have to pay Chipotle in 5 installments

Millennials aren't going anywhere.🏙️
You had me until the end… in China the bars are all stuffed into one part of the city so they’re easier to control and regulate. 🤔

I’ve noticed many young people don’t seem to have any more fun. My comment is not related to drinking but it could be part of it. What I mean is young people I meet are all super serious, no jokes, no laughs. Maybe they are depressed about climate? I don’t know … but it’s going to be a serious problem when they grow up. Eventually they’ll be taking over and I have a feeling we won’t be laughing much then.

It’s depressing to see. It’s like a bunch of walking psychos 😂 but I feel bad for them. And scared for what they’ll do to me when I’m super old 😬

My guess is we’ve been too controlling with too many rules. Helicopter parenting
Alcohol catches up with you faster and faster the older you get and eventually overtakes you if you don't take notice of that fact early on. Drinking is a habit that never wants to end, but some people wise up and dry up as much as possible. Plus Alzheimer's fucking sux worse than liver disease.

I've also had a lot of fun drinking and socializing. as a somewhat introverted person it has helped me socially. if I look back I don't think I would have had a better life if I had not drank. tradeoffs
drugs have become much cheaper, alcohol has become much more expensive

This is also rough on musicians because if nobody drinks nobody pays musicians
Is it not just that being a bartender makes you not want to get a drink at a bar. They know how the sausage gets made?
