It's yet another facet of the constant infantilization of young people. They're not really given a chance to grow up. All of the TV shows, films, etc are a constant rehash of things from their childhood, the bands they listened to as kids never really stop, they're not paid enough to take on adult responsibilities like mortgages or having kids, and, it seems, they're still expected to drink sweet, sugary crap instead growing into adulthood with a good Rioja like they ought to.
- ragingrobot 3y agoAlong with your view on not growing up: from my observation in at least in my neck of the woods (NYC/New Jersey), much of the younger crowd prefer getting totally wasted as quickly as possible on hard liquor or bitter high alcohol beers as the "adult" way to enjoy alcohol. You can do the same on wine of course if you chug a bottle, but it has the "old person" image of needing to be enjoyed slowly.
