I wonder if it’s because science has started to come around to the fact that alcohol causes a whole host of health problems like cancer and heart disease and people are realizing it’s not worth it? I also saw a fascinating note that the new appetite inhibiting weight loss drugs reduce alcohol cravings as well. I expect alcohol is going through the same identity change that smoking did two decades ago. It won’t die out entirely, but the downshift is probably permanent. Unless and until we wipe the slate of scientific knowledge that is.
