Transparent wish fulfillment for prudes and the overly religious.

Sure, bars are targeting people who don't drink, millenials are postponing sex until after marriage, recreational pot is only smoked by non-whites, or at least non-evangelicals, and Santa Claus is real!

People are drinking less and less every year, this is a real thing with lots of data and has no correlation with religion. This is Denver, one of the first cities in the world to decriminalize marijuana and the first state to legalize it completely, you think the prudes did that?

No, I think a lazy reporter is pandering to what they believe is a safe audience to pander to.

Touched a sore spot, huh?

Yes. Lazy reporting that relies on cliches the reporter believes about their audience always bothers me.

She interviewed the owner of the bar, and then listed out 5 other places in the local area where high quality non-alcoholic beverages are served. It's neither lazy nor pandering nor "wish fulfillment for prudes". It's just true. What's your problem, man?

Please don't reply to a bad comment with another. That only makes this place even worse. Especially please don't cross into personal attack. That never helps.
