tl;dr gen Z are losers for eating early and not drinking a lot, and maybe going to bed early and hitting the gym in the morning, rather than getting sloshed and eating gut bombs late at night and then barely dragging their hungover asses into work/school/whatever the next morning.

Some of my Gen Z coworkers have said that they go to bed early and workout early and don't drink because if the revolution comes they want to be ready for it, and I honestly couldn't be more fucking proud of them.

This is motivating my millennial ass to get back to the gym.

I would get sloshed and eat gut bombs late at night more if it didn't cost 40 dollars to just exist outside and another 40 to actually drink something.

That's why you just drink at home and have some microwave bean burritos in the freezer!

the underlying issue of applying capitalist logics of efficiency to one's entire life is sound

that would be a great argument, it's too bad the article barely even touched on that as it ragged on young people not having the same self-destructive lifestyle the author did at their age.

like yes, but don't be too kind to the author who didn't make this point, instead waxing poetic about making the waiter kick them out after closing and wrote a whole ass opinion about how 13-28 year-olds are "losers" for not spending a couple hours wage on a single cocktail.

there is something inarguably sexy about a late night dinner.

It is in fact very arguable and I'm going to argue it. For me, eating dinner after 9PM either means I've had a relentless and exhausting day or my sleep schedule is fucked.

addiction to expensive harmful substances is, after all, what culture is really all about.

I know a fucking gen xer wrote that trash. I can smell it from here.

6 is early? I eat between 430 and 530 normally but I also start work at 7am and am usually in bed around 9, eating after 630 usually means a night of heartburn because I probably have hiatal hernia.
