A lot can change of course but I don’t think getting hammered several times a week is the same path they’ll take as we did. My lad is nearly 19 and never been drunk , ditto my daughter approaching 17 … they seem to have zero interest in it .. I didn’t / don’t drink around them but don’t think that is a factor , I think it’s just their generation tbh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daughters boyfriend threw up in an Uber on Saturday night. I don't think it's generational. That said they don't go clubbing literally every week, twice a week as I did at that age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be out Tuesday & Thursday on the cheap £1 a drink nights. Then Friday and/or Saturday too. Places that used to be packed on Friday and Saturday nights in Tamworth at 10/11pm and empty now. The decline of Tamworth town centre might also be factor here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more different nowadays though for those that age. It's more a case now of cheap pubs or trendy bars - depends location I guess, but there is definately not the nightclub life compared to that of the 90s and 00s. Like @Genie says, you can drive round the same places nowadays that would be crammed with clubbers etc falling out onto the streets at the wee hours of the morning to see nowadays they're ghost towns and the nightclubs no longer exist there.

Ha , precisely tbf that's why I've never drunk around them .. I may have the occasional beer at a BBQ or something but they won't have seen me drunk and in my full throws of stupidity that come with it , they can experience it for themselves if they want , but as a parent I just figured the lessons I give my kids shouldn't include how to dance drunk on a table or climb walls at 2 am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other one… not so much. I’ll just say this, I went to a performance by the second of my offspring to show parental support for their artistic endeavours.

LondonLax Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Quote The report, published by Berenberg Research, found that Gen Z were drinking 20 percent less per capita than Millennials – who, in turn, drink less than Baby Boomers and Gen Xers did at the same age. While previous generations may have marked the passage into adulthood with binge drinking and hard partying, today’s youngsters are much more temperate, shying away from excessive alcohol consumption and instead prioritising their mental and physical health. https://www.worldfinance.com/special-reports/is-the-alcohol-industry-drying-up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
