Contrast that with my Gen Z friends and/or any Gen Z girls I've dated. There's a good portion of them who are completely put off by alcohol and drinking culture, and much prefer to smoke weed.

It’s looking like we are seeing a sea change in attitudes and behaviours around drinking. In 15 years in my industry I’ve seen work social events go from interns leading the pack and carrying the party on after hours, to interns being the first to drift back to their desks and then head home.
The longterm generational trend seems to be drinking with others > drinking alone (while maybe virtually connected to others) > not drinking.
