I work in post 16 education. The number of young adults who have never had a drink is crazy high. A lot of them just don't drink, don't go out much and haven't ever been to a pub.

Covid. Lock down. Being fucking skint. Not having access to a car or bus service (remember the old days when a mate would drive 7 or 8 of you and your mates to a local for a skin full? Doesn't happen any more)
