I honestly can’t help but thinking that the different media diet nowadays is also a driver of reduced alcohol consumption. If you watch traditional TV and movies, alcohol and drinking are absolutely everywhere and invariably normalized as part of everyday life. Kid has problem in school? Mom drinks a glass of wine. Getting promoted at work, everyone a round of scotch. Vacation doesn’t count if there are no umbrella drinks.
You barely see any alcohol at all on TikTok, and I assume it’s either forbidden or demonetized on all major platforms. Out of sight, I guess, out of mind.

I hate that it’s because of visa/mastercard but alcohol is forbidden in porn too.
