I feel like UK is becoming more self aware and bored of the drinks. Old gen sit in a pub so they donāt feel lonely. Youngest gen go out weekends student nights to meet people.
Everyone else (24-65) has gone off it so the majority of society is slowly getting bored of the alcohol scene.
Canāt speak for all but Iāve worked in bars and been told his for a few years now and noticed it.
I wanna visit aus but donāt wanna get into that scene again

Itās pretty horrific, sadly our mental health system can only do so much to help people 
I try not to watch the news a lot but my partners kid was pretty upset and we are on the other side of Oz.

Iām Australian born of English parents and lived in the UK for many years, it is very similar with the drinking culture in my opinion. But like anything what you seek is what you will find, there is a big recovery scene in Australia none of which I knew about while I was drinking.
We have a 17 year old in the house and their whole group isnāt really into drinking much where everyone I knew was getting drunk at that age 
I think they are also very aware of everything been filmed and their appearance in general and getting messy isnāt desirable.
Visiting would be not problem as we have loads of stuff to see and do

Bottle shops always busy hereā¦ people are drinking at home alone or while socialising online like on PlayStation. I think alcohol is worse than ever, because itās hidden more now.
