    Yeah, that’s not happening more than in the past either

    Young adults today are less likely to drink than young adults two decades ago – but older adults are more likely to do so, according to Gallup. The share of adults ages 18 to 34 who say they ever drink dropped from 72% in 2001-03 to 62% in 2021-23. (Gallup looked at the data in three-year time periods to allow for reliable age-group analysis.).

    The one sense this generation of parents is more like high school kids is their earnings in relation to housing costs. Parents are working longer hours because they have no damn choice.

    That is at least consistent with the known facts. But it’s still a hell of a leap to divine all that from one high school fight which turned out uglier than usual.
