A new generation of Denver bars is targeting people who don’t drink
- bediger4000 7y agoTransparent wish fulfillment for prudes and the overly religious. Sure, bars are targeting people who don't drink, millenials are postponing sex until after marriage, recreational pot is only smoked by non-whites, or at least non-evangelicals, and Santa Claus is real!
- topmonk 7y agoTouched a sore spot, huh?
- bediger4000 7y agoYes. Lazy reporting that relies on cliches the reporter believes about their audience always bothers me.
- topmonk 7y agoShe interviewed the owner of the bar, and then listed out 5 other places in the local area where high quality non-alcoholic beverages are served. It's neither lazy nor pandering nor "wish fulfillment for prudes". It's just true. What's your problem, man?
- dang 7y agoPlease don't reply to a bad comment with another. That only makes this place even worse. Especially please don't cross into personal attack. That never helps. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- stopads 7y agoPeople are drinking less and less every year, this is a real thing with lots of data and has no correlation with religion. This is Denver, one of the first cities in the world to decriminalize marijuana and the first state to legalize it completely, you think the prudes did that?
- bediger4000 7y agoNo, I think a lazy reporter is pandering to what they believe is a safe audience to pander to.
