Edit: We're getting way off topic here, but the attitude is clearly that if I'm an adult who enjoys a few responsible drinks, I'm taking away from some other part of my life. Like I can't also enjoy going to a concert, fishing, hiking, etc...if I also enjoy the drinks? I just don't get it, and it's not a common attitude in other parts of the world.

I'm not old like you relics, but is this really a thing? My partner is older and our group of friends is a pretty big range, and I have literally never heard of this perception and notice really no difference between Western Canada and a few other parts of the world that you'd think would be different.
