On the downside, and to Slava’s point, one of the biggest reasons is because face-to-face socialization is also declining sharply in young adults. Which isn’t ideal.

I have two twenty somethings and can attest to this. Drinking with friends is not a thing with either of them, they probably drink more at home with my wife and I than they do with the friends. University (Covid didn't help) and neither one of them ever went out drinking with friends, now post grad and it's still a thing. They'll do the occasional group thing and have some drinks (not many) but neither one is into the club/bar scene. Kind of nice when we go to friends as we know we'll usually have a designated driver!
