True. I party a lot and i notice a lot of especially GenZ and millennial have a strong preference to other substances. Not stuff like coke but mdma and designer stuff.
Only last weekend I was complaining about hangovers and this girl offered me some MDMA saying she uses it precisely to avoid hangovers and also expensive beverages in the club. Makes sense but for me as a GenXer it's still a pretty big leap to take. I'll just stick with my craft beer.
FwiW and despite whatever impression you may have gleaned from my comment I wasn't particularly into either drugs or alcohol myself, but I certainly saw a lot of both consumed .. and to be fair it's something a lot of people dive into in their late teens and early twenties and then most drastically cut back or stop altogether.
The Spaced scene I linked is infamous for many people noting it as one the best depictions of a MDMA rave party ever filmed and Edgar Wright and cast members asserting it was shot in the middle of the day and no one was drunk or on drugs.
That .. may or may not be true or overstated - I know I wasn't there at the time so I can't claim knowledge either way.
