In another 2018 survey, conducted by the marketing research firm Mintel, 28% of millennials between 24 and 31 said that they preferred to drink at home because going out was too much effort, compared to just 15% of baby boomers who agreed with that statement.
Honestly, I never understood why anyone went out to drink. So much cheaper and safer at home.
But aside from the obvious factor of saving money, I have to wonder if it doesn't have to do with how awful people have revealed themselves to be. The younger you are the more likely your social time is spent in online spaces and that's certainly proved to be threatening. So why wouldn't you shy away from interacting with strangers?
