I went to Austin City Limits in 2018 and 2022, and in that period I noticed one major change - there was a marked difference in the number of younger folks drinking Liquid Death as a social signifier that they were on something else (mushrooms, mdma, lsd, weed, etc).
In the past few years it's become much more socially acceptable to take alternative substances, and it's probably not a coincidence that a "cool" repackaging of water has taken off as one means of indicating that choice.
That's probably driving more of this trend than just kids not drinking but remaining sober. Alcohol has real competition now... but venues can't sell 2cb.

So, they told you? You surveyed a statistically significant sample? Otherwise I can't see how this is anything other than speculation or projection. I recently gave up drinking, and while I am starting to introduce mushrooms into my life, I would very happily be drinking an over-priced Liquid Death at a concert over a, undoubtedly equally or more over-priced beer.
