Do you have the impression that alcohol consumption that was pretty normalized a few years back on every social occasion is getting questioned lately? What do you think about it?

  • In my friend group (in Germany) certainly.

    Maybe it’s aging as well, getting more severe hangovers and from less alcohol. But alcohol free beer has gotten so much better in the last 5-10 years, there’s ones where you legit can almost not even tell anymore. And there’s alcohol free wine and champagne as well.

    I hear “Why aren’t you drinking?” way less.

    More than half of my friends still smoke, though. Not a poor people thing here.

      Yeah I got the same impression, Germany here as well.

      And I wasn’t sure if it’s just a thing in my friends group and if it has to do with a certain age and not being able to drink because of pregnancy and having kids that normalized it. That’s why I asked.

      I heard of the spooky two days hangover by some my age, but never experienced it myself. Still I lost motivation for drinking, somehow.
