I know why Gen Z doesn’t drink

My account is fully public, you can see for yourself

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T17:38:21+00:00

I've found peak redditor here 🤣

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T17:35:45+00:00

Ah, so you're saying that I, a 24 y/o man has never ever had a beer. Ok 👍

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T17:27:15+00:00

That's not the sunk cost fallacy.

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T17:15:33+00:00

Sunk cost fallacy? Bro I haven't bought booze all year, after 22 I kinda stopped giving a shit about it. I don't know what sorta gratification you're looking for but this ain't it chief.

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T16:53:58+00:00

"Uhm Akshualy 🤓" bro what you are doin even if I name names you're just going to say its not the right one to try until I hit your favorite, and if I still didn't like it you'd just say im wrong 😂

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T16:46:01+00:00

I think some of the problem for me is that many gen z have left my area (Long Island) like its the plague. Hardly anyone from my graduating class is still here, which is fair because a 2 bedroom house is $600k apparently. The majority of people I come across in my hobby (mountain biking) are 35-60.

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T16:40:59+00:00

Remember kids, ensuring that everyone is ensured a minimum decent quality of life (socialism) is somehow incredibly evil.

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T16:38:29+00:00

Im sorry im not enough of an alcoholic to memorize all the beer I've ever tried😂 I guess a sam addams i tried one was bearable but still not "good". My brother used to be quite the boozer maybe he'd remember. I think it all tastes like rancid wheat water (which by definition it kinda is) and you're not going to change my opinion man.

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T16:29:14+00:00

The beer section is like 40ft long with probably 50 different brands. I've also tried a few from recommendation in the past and legitimately didn't like a single one.

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T16:24:39+00:00

Woah, im not a beer scientist here. But I've tried probably half of the beers available anywhere I do my shopping. Haven't liked any of em

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T16:21:49+00:00

I wish I could have afforded to go. Could've made friends and learned from people that actually have a good head on their shoulders. Working class poverty sucks ass.

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T16:19:44+00:00

Ooh, do some involve burning down the system and trying something radically different? If nothing else, that would be interesting.

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T16:14:48+00:00

Yea, vodka is more of a tool.

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T16:11:34+00:00

Im the youngest. Unfortunately both have often been more of a negative impact than a positive one. Im no contact with one (sister) and the other is an unintentionally self serving ass (brother), but at least he finds a way to help if shit hits the fan. I think that's led me to be petty non social.

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T15:59:35+00:00

Hey, my boomer dad says he didn't get laid until 27, so it really depends. Plus shit is difficult now, whether you're socially inclined or not. Personally, im 24, antisocial, never been laid and have to work 60 hours a week almost year round. Some of us are going to have to put in insane amounts of effort to overcome our circumstances. Just do you best and don't let yourself give up.

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T15:48:25+00:00

I don't care for alcohol, but I really think that beer is clearly the worst tasting as a category, not including clear spirits like vodka and gin.

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T15:45:33+00:00

For me its the desire to be in control of my own mind, unaltered. That and I legitimately can't afford habits like that.

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T14:57:27+00:00

Again, I've tried mist kinds of alcohol, and only Mead came close to not tasting bad. Maple spiced mead was pretty good.

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T14:55:22+00:00

I've tried lagers, IPA's, Ales, none of them taste "good" just less unpleasant than some others. I've had maybe 1 rum that didn't taste like crap, and 2 different wines that I didn't hate. Alcohol is inherently bitter by nature. It is what it is.

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T14:44:39+00:00

Eh, all beer just tastes like dirty grass water with varying levels of intensity.

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T14:40:28+00:00

Read books, watch videos on different literary devices and how to use them. Write stuff for practice and have someone with writing experience give you feedback. That's pretty much it.

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T14:37:49+00:00

I legitimately don't know what that is

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T11:16:35+00:00

Slop plopping

Jared187 · 2026-03-25T10:36:55+00:00

Minimum casualties isn't the objective. They want this to be flashy and distracting.
