Socially or ethically, I think I know what you mean.
I am being pedantic now and say that it can even be bad socially and ethically as a consequence of that or as a consequence of health concerns.

There’s a loneliness epidemic and low alcohol consumption rates are a contributor to that
Are they? Sincere question, haven’t read a report or something like that on that topic.
Regarding the remaining part, I understand how you see that. Seems logical. However, I would claim that this is more of a problem in societies mindset itself and less one tied to alcohol consumption. If people are raised in a way that they learn how alcohol is necessary, and don’t learn other ways, if it’s even incorporated in the particular culture of a society, then it’s not surprising that those people have a hard time finding new friends.
There are plenty of counter examples, e.g., look at other cultures where alcohol is even forbidden or at least its consumption clearly discouraged. Even in western cultures there are plenty of people who found and prefer other ways. But sure, may of course not be the majority yet.
Regarding a loneliless epidemic, I guess there is also a lot more to it than alcohol consumption alone. For example I have picked up on smartphone usage / social media consumption as related on that. (Which is a very superficial statement now, I haven’t read up on that.)
Thanks for pointing it out. There is clearly room for a lot of error.
In case you are sincerely wondering:
It has become common to show sarcasm or mockery through that random capitalisation of letters in text.
It was originally popularised by the mocking spongebob meme but its use can be traced back even earlier, according to Wikipedia.
Please keep it civil. :) The discussion was fine so far. What made you react so angry?
There is lactose free cow water. Also, plant based milk doesn’t have lactose.
Which is cool
I disagree for health and a bunch of other reasons.
Alcohol isn’t that bad, obviously, if bad at all,
Depends on what you understand by “bad”. Regarding health, it certainly is.
When your keyboard is remapped, you commit those changes yourself.
From a health perspective, it certainly is.
No level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health.
Which is a cultural thing. If people grow up seeing how alcohol is a social catalysator, they don’t learn that it’s perfectly possible to socialize without alcohol.
Idk, if that comes from a well-meant place, but it sounds kinda condescending.
There are not just two kinds of people. From my experience those, who use cannabis or other drugs, are inclined towards alcohol use as well.
