| Record low number of Americans report drinking alcohol, and new teetotalers are explaining why |
| 2025-08-14 |
| [FoxNews] Only 54% of respondents to Gallup’s annual Consumption Habits survey conducted last month say they consume alcohol, which is the lowest on record in nearly 90 years. "This coincides with a growing belief among Americans that moderate alcohol consumption is bad for one’s health, now the majority view for the first time," Gallup said in a press release. |

| #10 I apologize on behalf of my s3x. I had no idea, but that is completely unacceptable. Maybe the tradwife thing is a reaction by both men and women to that — a commitment on both sides to be trustworthy. |

| #9 Getting absolutely wrecked by a girl on the internet? For too many its become a blood sport for them. It's generally about attention seeking a validation. It's so out of control that it sparked a rebellion known as Men Going Their Own Way - MGTOW. Social media has shown the dark side of the women so much that guys now prefer peace. Suddenly, they're asking 'were are all the good* guys?' *their definition of 'good' isn't what most would consider good but rather a list of requirements that only 0.05 percent of the male population meet. |

| #8 Coming from a guy's perspective, but really anyone, imagine making a pass on someone and not just rejected on having a dance or whatnot, get your picture taken, and getting paragraphs on why I was not only up to her standards, being tracked down on anti-social media and getting absolutely trashed. So five years later, think I've found the one, and she does an internet search history, and that 0/5 don't recommend, comes up. It is nasty out there for guys. Even at the gym, girls are ambushing dudes for staring because the gal is wearing a skin suit and doing the exercise wrong. |

| #7 Getting absolutely wrecked by a girl on the internet? I’m not sure what that means, but it sounds unkind. |

| #6 It reminds me of that article from Germany; it must be considered people, women especially, are staying home because of internet activities and not worth the hassle/too dangerous to go out. Very well could be AWFLs consumption may very well be up, as a downer to counter the uppers they take. All I know is back in the day going bar or party hopping with the boys was a lot more fun if girls were there, even without a chance of getting numbers it felt more natural. What would be new to me would be getting absolutely wrecked by a girl on the internet and being forever ruined. Might as well stay home and Helldiver with the dudes. |

| #5 Consumption of alcohol now causes my sleeping heartbeat to approach 100 bpm. I watch it now since the Covid shot caused RHP to go from 64 to 36 bpm. It killed another neighbor with blood clots, he was a doctor. |

| #4 Don't be fooled. Consumption is steady if not rising among AWLFs the longer Trump is in office. |
