good for them mate, i think it's admirable that they would want to witness future wars, famine and mass extinction events without the crutch of alcohol.

Under-25s 'turning their backs on booze'
Nearly 30% of young people in England do not drink, study finds
The main reasons may be health messages getting through especially at school.
However, I think other forms of entertainment may be playing a part.
Someone I know asked his younger employees how they spent a weekend. Rather than go for a few beers, they'd go round to each other's houses to play games and perhaps a couple of times a month go to a club. Beer wasn't the main thing for them.
I get the impression the times I have been out in recent years that there seems to be very slightly fewer young men out though I still see plenty younger lasses.
Or are people telling porkies in these surveys (less likely)?
Find it hard to be too hard on her, at that age I was boozing, taking LSD, speed, smoking dope and abusing solvents!She will learn
Hopefully get it out of her system.
Mine likes a party but after a couple of bad times she is pretty good now. She is also 22.
I think you need to teach her a life lesson. Do whatever you want just don't let me find out.Find it hard to be too hard on her, at that age I was boozing, taking LSD, speed, smoking dope and abusing solvents!
The difference being I was too clever to get caught!
Agree totally , fri, sat, sunday down the town and monday night in the club. Younguns have more sense now than we give them credit for.From the young people I know in the family and through Friends it does seem that they not as interested in drinking in comparison to how I was at that age. My 16 year old nephew is allowed a few drinks at family gatherings but most the time he doesn’t even bother.
Not sure why maybe it’s a change in society, technology, social media.
Sport and fitness seem to be more popular than ever and with snap chat, Facebook and all the rest there’s also the element of showing themselves up and it being recorded. Teens don’t have to leave the house to speak with anyone these days.
When I was 16-24 all I cared about was getting pissed as often as possible
Imagine preferring the gym and a PlayStation over the pub man.The boring bastards.
In particular the gamer types, flossy wearing ponces.Imagine preferring the gym and a PlayStation over the pub man.
Shouldn’t that be something you worry about when you’re a little bit older, life’s too short.Given the cost of housing etc. - (and the cost of a pint)
Maybe they've decided they have more important things to spend their money on. ?
Imagine preferring the gym to anything. You’re not supposed to enjoy it.Imagine preferring the gym and a PlayStation over the pub man.
In youngsters smoking, drinking, teenage pregnancies and taking drugs are declining massively and has been gradually for some years.
Was mentioned by one expert on 5 live this morning that a combination of better education at school and lives being played out on social media seemed to be at the bottom of it.
Its just not deemed cool to be off you face, getting knocked up and smoking all the time, and of course the fact that when you do some twat will video you and stick it all over social media so the whole world (and your parents) know before you even get home.
Some twat at every house party will "go live" and before you know it you are busted in the act and your dad kicks the door down realising now that you arent actually staying over at a mates house studying.
Is the correct answer .Probably can't afford to, what with the coke they snort.

More interested in drugs than drink i would say.
