The word I chose was comforts, not abuse. You say they are using fewer drugs, but I don't see that. They've merely upgraded their dealers--from street hoods to doctors & pharmacists. Talking to kids today (and hearing about all of their drugs) is almost as boring as talking to my grandparents (and hearing about all of their drugs): SSRIs, ADHD meds (and how do I convince my doc to prescribe them), hormone treatments (for the trans & the old farts trying to re-live their 20s), PrEP, finasteride, dick pills (because they've already messed that up in their 20s with the hair pills), etc. From this board alone, I know more about adderall & HRT that I ever wanted to. And I would be interested to know more about all of these self-denying agnostics you've claimed. Closest thing I have seen to what you have said "in the wild" would be ordinary status-chasing--foregoing the booze and the broads for clicks & social-climbing--which is no better, and no less material, than the comforts I've already listed.
