Why More People Are Becoming "Sober-Curious"

- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- Alcohol has been a part of the human experience pretty much since there were humans. But a new generation of sober curious youth has been changing the way we as a culture interact with alcohol, and the reasons why are both super encouraging and kind of concerning.

Sober-curious sounds like someone has been drunk nonstop for 10 years and is wondering what sober is like
IKR😂
like me! 🙂
Huh?? I completely disagree with that statement
that was me, until 50 days ago. now i see what im missing out on!
😆
a huge, HUGE part of why alcohol was super important in civilization isn't even due to the psychological or physical side effects of it, but because of its ability to sterilize the water that it's in, often ale in the ancient sense was only 1-2% alcohol, just enough to make it less likely to go bad compared to similarly stored fresh water (remember, they didn't have plastic containers yet), but the level would be low enough that you'd have to drink a LOT of it to get really drunk. Potable drinks were immensely important for traveling groups, so much so that the militaries of the world would even include sugar in rations EXPLICITLY for producing ale on the march.
I thought this was the primary reason civilization coincided with alcohol. I was looking in the comments to see if I'm completely wrong.
In colonial America Apple cider was very popular for this reason. It was not the cloudy stuff you see in the juice aisle though, it’s the clear stuff you find in the beer aisle because it was “hard” cider.
The extra calories also probably mattered for helping prevent wasting in times of food insecurity
I've started just saying "self care" when people ask why I don't really drink.
THIS! It’s such a simple line but it’s gold. Who could put pressure on that? Thanks for sharing! ♥️Sher
I just tell them I have 2 settings 0, or 11.
I choose 0.
As a 40 year old person who does not drink at all and has never even been drunk (save for being slightly buzzed on my wedding day), this video really hit home for me. I have been ridiculed many times in my life for not drinking with friends or family during social situations and have sometimes felt like something might have been wrong with me.
I'm glad that a movement like this is out there and on the rise. I've never felt like I needed alcohol to have fun.
So happy to hear that this resonated for you! Thanks for joining us here 😊♥️Sher
I know exactly what you're saying. I haven't had a drink since 2001 and people make you feel like you're weird because you turn down a drink.
Dude! Same! I always thought peer pressure was some silly issue that could be easily dealt with. And I never thought going against something so pushed and normalized would be hard.🙂It feels great to finally feel validated!
Also, I wish people who are wanting to quit well! And if they choose to drink, I respect their choice and hope they respect my choice to not drink.
This just hit me in a different way. I drink very little because I always get hit with a wave of depression after that rivals any hangover.
It's weirdly comforting just to hear other people are opting out for whatever reason.
It's more encouraging to go out when places offer interesting choices at a bar besides water or soda to the DD.
It’s just not worth it to me to even take the risk of alcohol. Plus, there’s a lot of non alcoholic drinks that I regularly enjoy and I don’t need alcohol nor really want it
What are those non-alcoholic drinks that you enjoy
@@Django0324 Honestly, orange hi c😂 but also like tropical drinks!
I would like to bring up the point of an alcohol flushing reaction. I unfortunately have this whenever I drink even a small amount. I always felt pressured into drinking by friends and family before but believed this condition was just part of what it's like. I haven't had a drink in 3 years and have to say that I don't miss it or even crave it. Don't let someone pressure you into drinking when you're seriously not comfortable with it.
As an exmo atheist who always felt left out when drinks were brought up, I'm here for this. Also, most of the "upsides" of drinking can be had in safer ways by actually eating fruit, and fermented breads while completely cutting out the downsides. It's unnecessary, harmful, and expensive. Yet when I ask people for places to hookup, they always seem to say bars. 😮💨
So true! I think part of this is creating a culture where other social options are just as normal as a restaurant or bar experience. Let’s just walk the streets together! ♥️Sher
I try to get people to agree on coffee or ice cream as a first date. I do not want to see sloppiness!

I've been in LTRs with women I met in bars; I drank all through my 20's. Sober ten years now. If you want a totally crazy, unstable relationship to look back on and be glad you are past it....sure, go meet women in bars. Very insane behavior. Plus the drunk rides back to her house can kill ya.
The older you get the more shitty and dehydrated you feel even after a few drinks…
Your sleep gets absolutely ruined and it barely feels worth it
It doesn't make sense...
When a study says "No amount of alcohol is good", how can you say that 1 or 2 glass of wine can be helpful?
You can’t just rely on 1 study to reach a definitive fact
@@BL-hw4mn well, you are correct.
I thought I was weird for not being interested in alcohol at all
Not drinking at music festivals was game changing for my enjoyment. I found that the music and experience were much more enjoyable and most importantly, memorable. It was always hard for me to "dose" my alcohol properly, and I would always overshoot into blackout territory. Plus, just as a drug in general, alcohol sucks. It's by far the most debilitating, addictive, and potentially deadly, of _all_ drugs; yet, it's legal and sold everywhere.
I think the "issues" with drinking are more of a problem in the anglosphere... I was born and still living in the uk, but born to a German mother. Friends took any and every opportunity to go out drinking and get sloppy drunk. At uni and even after, certain friends called a good night one they could barely remember. I was brought up with access to alcohol, generally watered down wine with a meal at weekends and special occasions as a young kid, then beer and wine from early teens. So when my friends could either pass for 18 or did turn 18 and suddenly could access alcohol they got wasted. I however was always the designated "mum" on nights out, i still drank, but i drink to ENJOY my beverage and my night out. My intention is never to get sloppy drunk. When i was younger, when visiting family and friends in Germany or France for example, the situation was far different, we went out to festivals, clubbing or bars and everyone drank the same way that i do and it was FAR more enjoyable! Im 38 now, so my British friends no longer spend every weekend getting wasted thanks to being older, with more responsibilities but theres still the odd celebration when they get sh*tfaced and regret it the next day. I believe that its a cultural issue rarely seen elsewhere, especially in continental Europe. So if the tide towards being a social drinker/ moderate drinker or sober curious whatever you call it, is only a good thing.
Nice video as usual. Missed a few points but very good overall. As stated in other comments, alcohol was (and still is) used because it was safer to drink than the water. There is also environmental issues from distilling (ie Jack Daniels mold in TN). Sober-Curious was once called being a social drinker. Its more about the experience and enjoyment of flavor instead of getting drunk. Everything should be used in moderation. When you start drinking in excess or as a crutch, then it becomes very very unhealthy. You were correct on the pressure of drinking. If modern media (ads) are pushing you to do something, you should ALWAYS second guess it and do your own research. Most modern alcohol companies just want your money and they do not care about your health. Good job overall. That was a lot of information in a very short format summary.
I'm more than 3 years without drinking a drop of alcohol, and it's not because I think that you can't have a healthy relationship with alcohol. No, it's just because I don't like the taste, and I'd rather drink diet soda than beer or anything with alcohol.
water > anything else in my case lol. Restaurants hate me.
I graduated 10 years ago but never got into drinking…guess I was ahead of the curve? I later found out I have PCOS and it’s generally better if I stay away from it. It’s tough when alcohol is so tightly tied to having a social life. Most people assume I’m some weird over religious person for it
Finally a video that doesn’t have a negative spin on things that people use to try to better themselves.
I understand bringing awareness to things like supplements and over-complicated skincare routines, but i was getting concerned when the message felt ambiguous around the idea of sunscreen or meditation.
Please keep presenting more positive videos or provide clearer solutions for the problems being addressed. It’s a bit emotionally exhausting watching video after video of things that my friends or I are trying to do to improve our health and each video feels like it’s a hit piece on how those things aren’t worth it at the surface level.
I TOTALLY feel you. Negativity is not my vibe and a lot of these topics can leave us feeling uninspired. Thanks for watching and sharing your insight! ♥️Sher
@@FutureProofHealth don't get me wrong, I've been subscribed since when it was Levi's channel, and have watched each video, a big fan of you as host, and the content. I just need more "here's how we can help" kinda vibe
Honestly, for me, it’s because I saw the negative affects of alcohol, and it absolutely crushed me as a young child to see somebody that I loved under the influence of alcohol and how it temporary Lee setback their life. For me, I like the feeling of being a little bit tipsy, but that’s it never fall on drunk I hate headaches and I hate throwing up so definitely not gonna get drunk for the hangover lol! I realize that I can have fun and let loose and still be in control of my thoughts and what I say. Basically I do drink a little, but I avoid all the side effects while still being able to feel a little buzzed.
Awesome topic. There are a ton of NA options out there these days. Definitely hope the trend continues.
This is absolutely awesome. I stopped drinking 5 years ago at the age of 28. My career path lead me to the liquor industry and the amount of free alcohol I received for "Sample" purposes became problematic, and it also became a hobby in itself and that's when it got out of control. I know 4 former craft beer buddies who have gotten sober now with a similar story. I got some serious pushback from friends when I quit, would've been nice if it was trendy back then. There's just no room in my life for alcohol anymore. More power to the new generation taking a hard look at alcohol through an objective lens.
All the same benefits mentioned about red wine would more effectively and less harmfully delivered drinking non-alcoholic wine, grape juice, or better yet, eating red grapes!
You defining moderate drinking as 1-2 drinks every day is insane to me. What do you mean consuming a drug daily is moderate????
Lightweight
I sobered up back in 2016 for a few months, then got back into it, but about two years ago sobered up again. It honestly started with me wanting to enjoy reading in the sun after work, but having drinks made me lose focus on what I was reading, and if I limited myself to just one or two, I would get sleepy and stop reading. So I picked up some N/A beers to have on days when I wanted to read. Then I just found that I only really cared about the flavor and have been sober (minus like, 4 or 5 drinks) since. I do still want to find a very convincing N/A Gin and Tonic though. 🤤
Drink Monday brand makes a great NA gin.
never knew this had a name but definitely onboard with this. it's pretty annoying how some people get offended or straight up disrespectful when you don't want to drink so it's nice to see not partaking become more normalized. I never liked the taste of alcohol and the headaches and crummy feeling were never worth it. plus I'd rather get my calories in elsewhere - side of fries or wings are just much more worth it IMO.
I'm allergic to hops and just generally such a lightweight I didn't see the point, so I quit drinking a couple decades ago. To learn there are bars that might not serve alcohol is intriguing. I'll have to see if there are any around my area, because the coffee shops all close way too early.
Some books I highly recommend for sober curious people:
"Quit Like a Woman - The Radical Choice to Not Drink in a Culture Obsessed with Alcohol" by Holly Glenn Whitaker
"The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober" by Catherine Gray
and the classic "The Easy Way (for Women) to Stop Drinking " By Allan Carr.
Thank you so much for sharing these! 🥰
@@FutureProofHealth Glad to help! One last book recommendation then: The Biology of Desire: Why Addiction Is Not a Disease” by Marc Lewis.
New generations get high instead of drunk. Weed is legal and cool now so alcohol slid to the back row for them.
1-2 drinks a day?? That’s wild. I used to drink like that when I came of age, but nowadays? Somewhere between like 1-4 a month?
Many people average that, or more! Which is why I love that we’re out here talking about intentional drinking. Thanks for joining us here! ♥️Sher
The health benefits of alcohol are insanely overblown and far outweigh any negatives, even at a low level. The only benefits that should be discussed are those of sociability and perhaps creativity. Even mentioning possible health benefits only encourages people to justify their unhealthy relationship with alcohol.
Millennial (40+) here, and in the past 10 years most of my friends have stopped drinking completely sometime during their 30’s, not only because their night life was impacted by starting families but even now the children are older, they still don’t drink at all. Not even during a christmas dinner at home or at a company party. So yeah, I would say that it is a lot more accepted nowadays to not drink alcohol for any reason not just religious ☺️ I myself have always been a social drinker and only ever drink enough to just get a little buzz, but never get drunk, I like to enjoy my drink and simply drinking anything just to get drunk was never the goal and still seems rather silly to me 🤷♀️
I was just thinking about this the other day, and then I stumbled on this video. Love it. Keep it coming!
personally as a rather anxious person, alcohol really helps me be present at social gatherings (as in have fun and not be quiet in the corner until someone mercifully talks to me) but I absolutely despise the concept of getting wasted
there is a golden spot with alcohol where you loosen up, can do all the crazy fun stuff but can still walk in straight line and not get a hangover, no need to get anywhere beyond that point any more often than once a month
once a month just for it to serve as a reminder that I am capable of being a fun open outgoing person I just need to psyche myself in
This is a very valid perspective! It’s called a social lubricant for a reason. Glad that you have found a way to make it work for you. ♥️Sher
Off topic but you guys used a Little Shop of Horrors clip, which is my all time favorite movie that I thought everyone had forgotten about, and I love you all even more for that brief moment of Audrey II!!!
The entire part about the supposed health benefits of small amounts of alcohol has been debunked: there are no health benefits. I'm surprised you brought up that topic and did not provide nuanced information. Anyway, even if it's always bad for you, no matter the amount, having a couple drinks every few weeks won't kill you that much faster to become an issue (this is what I tell myself when I occasionally drink).
alcohol just genuinely tastes foul. Don't understand how anyone can stomach it. It has been hard because peer pressure to drink is everywhere and people get offended if you don't drink.
Either you mix the drink so you don't taste the alcohol, or you buy expensive stuff, or both. If you still taste the alcohol you might just be extra sensitive to it with possibly a mild allergy.
^ agreed. On top of that, it’s definitely an acquired taste. But if you don’t like it, I would stick with something you enjoy. If anyone gets offended, that’s their problem! If your in a bind you can always quietly ask your server to bring you non-alcoholic drinks - I’ve done this for many people! Thanks for sharing your experience. ♥️Sher
The reason I don't drink is because almost all my family drinks, one evening on Christmas my family and I went to a relative's house and I was outside with my cousins, we started a snowball fight and I got got hit on the nose pretty badly and started bleeding, they all ran in to get someone to help me but my dad came out and was drunk already and started kicking me (at the age of 11 or 12) like a dog to get inside, but the next morning he definitely regretted it and was asking for me to forgive him which I did, and also last year as of writing this my uncle got into a bad car accident after drinking at work, he was driving on his way back home and got into an accident, they had to give him CPR and took him to the ER and still is to this day almost a year, so thats why ill never drink
I find it interesting that for many people they picture alcohol consumption as either getting drunk or not drinking at all. Even in the limited comments already posted here people are talking about the expense, the weight gain, etc which implies quantity. Even those not going for complete abstinence talk about it being ok to "indulge once in a while" as if any drinking needs to be to the point of indulgence.
There are people who like to have a glass of wine with dinner when they eat out, who like to have a beer on the patio while barbequing on a Saturday afternoon, who are passionate about whisky and will have a dram from their favourite bottle to cap off the week, etc.
I have an extensive liquor cabinet and yet never consume more than 2oz in a single day or 4oz in a given week. I enjoy certain liquors for their flavour and have not been drunk in a very long time--or even tipsy for that matter. Even when I was a DJ in clubs and lounges I would have a single drink when I'd arrive (if I had a drink at all,) followed by a redbull, followed by either water or diet coke for the rest of the night. I was literally at the center of the nightclub party, sober.
There is a huge difference between "having a drink" and "drinking." That's not to say I have anything against the people that want absolutely nothing to do with alcohol, power to you. I'd rather visit for a walk or over board games than in a loud bar myself. I think some people have it a bit twisted though that it's drunkenness or abstinence. As many have said, alcohol is unnecessary but so are a lot of the things people enjoy. My coffee is unnecessary as well and you can take it from my cold dead hands.
As a final thought, I think the social pressure to drink angle is a bit over stated as well. It may be true at a college house party but outside of that, very few people are going to care if you go to a nightclub to dance and drink nothing but water and pop or visit with friends with a water in your hand instead of a beer. Those who do care are not worth your time. I have gone on plenty of literal walking pub crawls with friends where I had my one cocktail at the start of the night and then pop and food everywhere else and have had exactly zero people say anything about it.
I’m with you on all of this! Especially the coffee part lol. There are so many ways our relationship with alcohol can look, but I do think it’s safe to say that culturally - we haven’t quite nailed it yet! I feel like we’re getting there though 😊 Thanks for tuning in and sharing your perspective! ♥️Sher
Because people who indulge once in a while don't feel like commenting on these videos most of the time. Why say anything when it's proven from the start, from the video and the vibe of the other comments, that no one would even try to understand? People who drink in moderation are often able to just click past videos like this because they know who they are and don't need to participate in this new trend of commenting to find others like you.
did not know that about you. cheers & thank you for a great video.
I used to be a generic craft beer drinking millennial, but while I still love the taste, beer just doesn’t sit well with me anymore, I get tired and don’t feel my best. I don’t drink it much these days.
As someone who sees no fun in drinking. Ive been sober 99.9% of the time for a long time.
I used to not drink alcohol because I was raised by an alcoholic family, now I don't drink alcohol because my cocktail of ssri and seizure meds would probably kill me if I drank alcohol
I don't drink, because I'm plenty good enough at doing stupid things I regret without the help. And I'd prefer to remember my mistakes the next day.
AND addictive tendencies run in my family, so I just plain don't want to take the risk of starting.
AND there are so many other things I enjoy that I'd rather spend spare money on when I have it.
I could add more "and"s, but I think you get the point by now. XD
HAHAH I can definitely relate to not “needing” booze to make me a silly guy. Glad you’re enjoying an alcohol free lifestyle 🎉 Thanks for joining us here and sharing! ♥️ Sher
At about 6:20 they say a recent study linked all levels of drinking to cardiovascular disease, but at about 10:10 they say that alcohol can lower you risk of heart disease. Which one is it?
I never drank more than 2 alcoholic beverages (beer, whisky, some wines that I didn’t think tasted too tart) and not every day. I hated the morning after hangover, and the last time I had whiskey I got a huge headache 15 minutes later. Once I became a dad I stopped drinking because I wanted to be more present for her (she has special needs.) There’s still some alcohol in the house, but it’s for cooking (Note: don’t buy “cooking wine” as it’s usually full of salt, and will make your recipe too salty if it also calls for salt.
Drunk people scare the heck out of me.
You say Gen z is more conscious and healthy, yet are they not hooked on vaping? It just seems that’s what’s replaced their alcohol use. I’m curious what your pov is on that yoloc
everything in moderation, like one drink after a particularly hard day at works not bad, a glass of wine at a dinner is fine, but I think a drink everyday in the long run isn't good for your health. The "no amount of alcohol is good for you" and "red wine is good for your heart" really contradicts itself and it seems like the science community isn't quite sure, but the red wine thing might just be people wanting to believe its good for them or that it out weighs the bad
My dad dislikes the stuff, and my mom only has maybe 3 light drinks a year, & sometimes doesn't even finish it.
They always told us about how it isn't evil, you just shouldn't do too much. And yet, even with being nearly 25 now, I have barely any interest in trying it. My sister tried a few light things, not finishing them, and the few sips I got, I don't taste anything different.
Maybe one day I'll try something more substantial, but I really am fine with water and occasional soda.
This is a good take! As a musician I play a lot of bars and such. I also don't have a lot of money 😅 usually my rules are I'll drink 1. If it's free, 2. And if the band leader drinks, 3. Aaaand I have a strict limit on the amount even if the bar in playing at doesn't after all I have to play the gig and pack up and drive home 😅 I don't find myself purchasing alcohol often, or even ever at this point. It's just an unnecessary cost!
Binge drinking is terrible for a developing brain. But so is social isolation.
Just listened to the skeptics guide to the galaxy in which they talk about these positive effects are probably not a thing
I'm not all that happy about it but I've been able to drink all day without any sleep while working nights and still be able to function and do my job without any issues or really being impaired the next night.
If you want a more informative resource on this topic, I would recommend the book Drink? By Dr. David Nutt
Is there a posibility for making a video about cold plunging?
I would LOVE to do that because I personally find cold plunging sooooo therapeutic. But I haven’t seen the research (yet 😏). Thanks for the idea! ♥️Sher
@@FutureProofHealth well, it's becoming increasingly popular so I believe it's not gonna take a long time before someone will make actual researches but if you would like to hear more about it I would definitely recommend ,,Using deliberate cold exposure for health and performance" by Andrew Huberman, but for some reason I feel like you already listened to that
I'm among one of the few people who isn't affected by alcohol's effects. Drinking it leads me to having a near immediate headache, rapid heart rate, increased body temperature, severe flushing and fatigue. I'm under the impression it's due to my body's deficiency in breaking down the alcohol and producing acetaldehyde. It's commonly known as Asian Glow/ Asian Flush where I most likely inherited it from my father.
It really depends on where you are from? In my country, going for work drinks its unusual and can be seen as deliberately outcasting those who don't drink. I'm so thankful for this because I don't drink and don't see why I need it.
We cali sober out here 😉
I hate the taste of alcohol and it's so funny because I make disgusted faces after every sip 🤣
Maybe I just don’t like the taste?
Gen Z cannot even go a bar properly, I got it
The second half of this video is all lies, absolutely no amount of drinking is good for you, Imagine this video was about smoking and the end they say, "1 to 2 cigarettes a day is good for you".
I have a beer or vodka tonic every now and then. Not something I obsess over. Life is short - enjoy it.
Hey, could you do an episode about highly processed food oils? Would be really helpful!
I’ve never drank, most people don’t notice until I’m the only one fine a few hours into the night.
09:57 Where did you get this information from?
This may not seem like a popular opinion, but I think we would all be better off if we can learn to function, socialize, and be fully present without a poisonous carcinogen. Most people in the world don’t even know what it is like to live sober and bring their full authentic self to every situation, because we have been drinking since we were teens. Dump the booze and fill your life with authenticity, and clear headed experiences. Never be ashamed for being uniquely awesome and choosing not to drink.
It’s bad. Period. My opinion 🙋🏽♀️
I still drink (especially Beer) the taste and the confidence even if it is a Placebo is important for an Omnivert like myself. However I want to drink higher quality alcahol and that I drink less often, some poeple can take it in stide others can't. I can't handdle pot as it genuanly makes my head hurt so this is my way of relaxing but I make sure to keep it under reasonable control.
Honestly, after having maybe 3 total drinks in 2022 and 1 in 2023 so far (months ago lol) I am so glad i cut back as much as i did. Those few times i sip a drink it feels special, and i try to make it something really good. I used to work at a bar (husband was the bartender) and i drank after work with coworkers nearly every damn night!! It killed my wallet, none of us were getting paid enough to drink like this lol! This is also after years of college drinking, friends always drinking to have fun, and of course vacation drinking and wouldn't you know it; living like this led to me having a huge drinking problem where everything I drank at work or doing anything was spiked. Luckily I cant get a pleasant buzz anymore and I really dont want to. I love living without alcohol and never want to go back. Of course, I still love coffee and cannabis, but even with those things im able to have way more self control than I ever did when I drank. I (nearly) cut out drinking completely alone, I hope I can be that person who makes other people comfortable with not drinking at the function some day. Now my expensive whiskey bottles are just to look pretty lol
I see lots of millennials and younger, especially parents, that prefer gaming at home to going to the bar... It is a coping mechanism, both are bad in excess. But one of them is definitely safer, healthier and even cheaper.
I totally forgot “zed” was a thing lol
Also, people are sometimes understanding of those who don't drink for religious or cultural reasons ... sometimes not so much.
What about an investigation regarding the dementia/Alzheimer and the lack of support that the state gives to the community that suffers from it?
Love this one. It really hit home. Love the channel!
10:10
Wheres the source? Makes me think of study showing chocolate was good for your health
Alcohol allergies are a thing. I have it. I guess that cuts through all the awkwardness when it's a legitimate medical problem. No one pressures me to drink when they hear I'm allergic. I'm glad that others are choosing not to drink even when they're not allergic. For the unbelievers, I got heart palpitations and shortness of breath last time I had a shot glass of wine.
There is so much inherent bias in this script. Not everyone needs alcohol to socialize. And its not an inherent part of the human experience, and billing it that way is really irresponsible.
I REALLY wish you guys would put the source when you're quoting someone or something, right in the video. While i don't care much for Adam Ruins Everything that was something they did right. For example: Moderate drinking is 1 or 2 drinks a day, acording to who? It would just be useful to those of that would like to follow up on a particular fact, but not have to hunt through 20 sources to find it.
Still love the channel ✌️
As someone who brews from natural yeasts, there is a missing link between gut health and alocohol. As a teen i never drank. Combined with imagination and social connection...i wouldnt recommend sobreity yet. 😅
Social drinker here, but it is very rare. I can measure it in drinks per month at most.
I have never drunk to the point of getting a hangover.
The worst was when I went to a beer festival with some friends (Side note, why the ever loving christ is it so hard to find water). Drank some, got a bit tipsy, then decided to wake up early to exercise with a friend. It was fun but afterwards we were just absolutely exhausted 😂
Wait, except for eggnog. Eggnog is great. Never gotten anywhere close to tipsy or drunk with it (given that I'd probably get diabetes long before if I even tried), but that's one alcoholic beverage that I've always liked... Specially if it has very low alcoholic concent and is more like a dense dessert
I drink alcohol so I can last longer on the dance floor and not feel everyone's sweat and grime! Wish there was an alternative to this because other than clubbing I never drink outside of it
Yeah, dance floors are tough! I LOVE to dance and don’t really drink anymore. I find I prefer half empty dance floors in spaces where people prioritize the music and dancing over the drinking. Thanks for tuning in and sharing your experience! ♥️Sher
Alcohol is SO RETRO
I've tried various types of alcohol several times and all of it was disgusting. I couldnt get more than a few sips before I stopped drinking it.
Opioids and alcohol don't go very well togheter
Ok give us the story...
It's too bad that binge drinking became the standard. When I was in school, me and my friends barely drank because it wasn't important to us. We would have BYOB parties, and we'd basically forget to drink all the beer that people had brought. So it would just sit out on the balcony of their apartment because no one wanted it.
Moderate drinking at 1-2 drinks per day seems like a lot to me. And it can be bad for you because it robs your body of vitamins. Plus making your body deal with alcohol daily is just not going to be good for you. Its better to give your body time to recover when you eat or drink something toxic. Same with eating sugar daily. Better to do these things once in a while.
It's great that manufacturers are (grudgingly) creating creating alcohol-free options. Corporations love every kind of addiction consuming, but real capitalism follows the consumer.
I've been sober for over a decade. It's as simple as saying 'I don't drink.' No one cares.
I submit that there is nothing positive about alcohol that can outweigh the negatives.
Your liver is a very important organ, keeps your skin clear, your hair shiny and you alive.
OH YEAH!
There's going to a backlash against alcohol for while but it will balance out.
Alcohol < weed
@5:43 who died from cannabis? HOW!?
This is not as big as originally thought fifty percent of gen z alone still drinks alcohol I think it is overly shamed yes some lost love ones and friends but alcohol alone is not responsible I believe there should be more mental help services and better rehab for some suffering from addiction but honestly dry Januray I find foolish and I don't even drink alcohol and I believe most of us will drink at least some alcohol once me get older at a certain point many stop caring about benefits I highly doubt that we have a dry generation a lot yes but not enough for a generation.
alcohol is a drain on your wallet and a bane to your body. nothing wrong with indulging every once in a while. but for me my mental and physical health have improved since i distanced myself from alcohol. back when i was trying new hobbies, making cocktails was one i really enjoyed doing. but my body and my wallet didn't like it. i saw my bank account drain and my waistline grow. so i dropped it. i still have a ton of bottles, gathering dust.
So true! Most people started drinking more during lockdowns, but as a hospitality professional - I was drinking MUCH less. And I lost a good chunk or weight without even trying. And I don’t enjoy drinking in the same way anymore. That said, I do still adore a perfectly paired glass of wine with dinner 👌🏽 Thanks for tuning in and sharing! ♥️Sher
Gen "zed" 😭😭😭

It's a little funny, but the sober friends in my life have made me appreciate alcohol in a more nuanced way than before.
I'm one of the many many people who had MESSY early 20s with booze. Heck, you could argue that I had a messy mid 20s as well. However, when I noticed friends and coworkers going more sober, or when new friends I was meeting were teetotalers or had religious reasons not to drink, I started doing research. I used to do hobbyist bartending for events my friends would run, so I had a decent grasp of different flavor profiles to try and work with, and I worked back from there. As I got more familiar with some of the 0 proof options out there, I went from trying to mimic classic cocktails to building new cocktails off the flavors I was finding.
The amount of attention to detail I learned from trying to perfect the mocktail has carried over to how I appreciate a good cocktail and neat liquor. It's weird to say but, since you really have to think and work at what you want to make when you try a new non-booze, now I find myself drinking booze way slower and using the same techniques to get the full flavor and think up new and exciting cocktails. This all culminated when I made the signature cocktail for my wedding, handed the recipe to the bar caterers, and all my guests went wild for it.
the weed became much much more available,no hangovers ,no toxins ...
this lol
Well, according the scripture, you drink alcohol when you’re old and passing away or when you’re super ill and ready to die
It took a genneration for smoking to go from socially acceptable to smokers being social outcasts. The same thing is now happening to alcohol. 15 years from now people will look at drinkers with the same disdain that they have for smokers. Stop using nonsensical words like "Sober-Curious".
Drunk driving kills 11,000 a year. Could you be next? Please- drink at home or take a cab to the bar. The life you save just might be your own!
