Socializing of all kinds is way down, a trend that started in the pandemic and has continued. Solo drinking isn't great, obviously, but it's understandable in our current world.

Many of these trends started before Pandemic, covid just sped shit up to the point where people noticed jiat how much the social fabric has been destroyed

Drinking solo at home is just a consequence of the current socio economic conditions.

Got to worm more, commute more, less time for social activities and really no energy or money either

Going out to drink or eat is officially a luxury... 20 dollar plates and 10 per drink

Bottle of wine or beer is 10 bucks per night

Basic economics
