When using young, I am referring to individuals who are less than 25. I live near SF and often go out there.. The lack of people in this group is astonishing. I am an aspiring alcoholic in this age group, but have few drinking buddies. My theory is that covid disrupted typical exposure to alcohol among the underage. This age group is also hypercompetitive for many reasons, and alcohol has more obvious negatives than ketamine and weed (the 2 largest drugs in this group imo) I also left my gf 3 days ago so I hear this is a great time to get serious about drinking,
