I do find these kinds of articles funny. "Why are the younger generations not destroying their bodies like we did?" Maybe we just don't want to bro.

  > Maybe we just don't want to bro. There's nothing wrong with it (quite the opposite), but keep in mind that this is not a normal thing. Most generations didn't act like this.

    But most generations before us also didn't have the same awareness about the health risks associated with a lot of those acts unlike younger people today. And the generation after us will probably think we were dumb about stuff as well (eg. social media, disinfo, Delta9, etc).

    There’s some recency bias to that for sure though - silent and greatest generations were not as big on partying like x or the boomers. Of course things like smoking were more common but the heath risks weren’t as well understood.
