I ask the same thing to my gen-z employees and they say the same thing!!

Gen Z ain't got money to drink

Yep. 38/m/TX here -Thc/cbd is the way to go. Plus as oceanslim said, booze aint cheap and the kids are broke.

Weed is cheaper

come to the midwest - things are still good here

Yes

Maybe the gen Z bartenders you asking are legally allowed to work but not legally allowed to drink.

Remember the prohibition 😆 https://image.nostr.build/9ec36ee8ab2fbdf7985191b96f8c4637da58a75d09033352d0df4acff5f7d485.jpg

i hope so. its terrible.

bartenders that dont go to bars.. 🤔

It's wild because I feel like I caught the last train. Not that drinking is great, it's not, but gosh to be 22 and getting ready to go to the clubs with my girlfriends was such a fun night out! I feel sad for young folks now that they don't have that. But maybe folks my parents age were sad for us...

bars are lame. It's mostly just men and at the end of the night, there is many testosterone filled upset men they couldn't pick up so they end up fighting. Gen Z is not the problem.

Many don’t drink coffee either. 🤯

Yep, alcohol is poison.

Yes, Gen z does ketamine instead because they’re antisocial

Poor generation that honestly never saw 2.50$ beers i cant blame em

I'm a millenial and I was almost always the designated driver back in the early 2010s because I didn't drink alcohol.

I think it's probably one of the better aspects of inflation. I don't know who can afford to get drunk at a bar once or twice a week these days.

Yes

Seems to be that way

Alcohol drinking is danger to your health while sitting in the bar drinking cola is not !

Is this another "let's shit on gen z" thread?

Millennials aren't going anywhere.🏙️

I’ve noticed many young people don’t seem to have any more fun. My comment is not related to drinking but it could be part of it. What I mean is young people I meet are all super serious, no jokes, no laughs. Maybe they are depressed about climate? I don’t know … but it’s going to be a ser...

Yes

They are on the right path. Actually a positive sign.

Alcohol catches up with you faster and faster the older you get and eventually overtakes you if you don't take notice of that fact early on. Drinking is a habit that never wants to end, but some people wise up and dry up as much as possible. Plus Alzheimer's fucking sux worse than liver disease.

They tell me they're poor and can't afford to go out.

Is it not just that being a bartender makes you not want to get a drink at a bar. They know how the sausage gets made?
