Meanwhile, they're all on weed.

Perhaps, they have simply switched to the pot.

Probably because they are the reason for the rest of us drinking. They shouldn't drink anyways they can't figure out their path forward from one day to the next.

Feelings and opinions

Lmfao where in Canada? Oh, the one's who can't afford it?

With the cost of alcohol in restaurants it is not that difficult to cut it out

Interesting. I was at a gala with someone in the same age group, table of 8. Dude stood up, introduced himself 'I'm __________(first name) I don't drink', while shaking everyone's hand at the table. I literally thought I Don't Drink was his last name. everythinginmoderation

.......while overloading on over the counter and prescription pain killers, anti depressants and anti anxiety medications. So let me crack a beer and watch this spectacularly obtuse imbecility play out.

Yes please! Bring on the options!

Is there nothing that millennials don’t suck at?

They’re all on prescriptions

Goodness, just don't let it lead to another Prohibition! Scary people. It is good not to drink a lot, but don't be such heroes about it. Maybe you indulge in other ways, eh?

Needs

Cheers

If you think that people not drinking is a problem, then *you* have the problem. DryJanuary woof

Lol, guess they don’t go to college or university then…guess she just meets activists and woke

🥳 just means more 🍻 for the rest of us 🥳

LOL. They all smoke weed.

Do older generations have more to suppress? Less self awareness? Despite there still hurt and ugliness in the world it feels like gen z/mil are healing lots. Healing takes a healthy body.

A couple questions please. How many , and what age group is young Canadians? I'm really hoping it's a typo and they meant to say young adults. Thank you, proud safe

They do other substances? Lol

the young people i know are all on something. if they aren't stoned it's psyche meds and sugar.

Haha, just wait until February rolls around.
