Yes, and, I've noticed many of my zoomer/elder alpha coworkers have "childish" tastes, for lack of a better word: they'll just not drink anything that's not soda-sweet and perfectly designed to hit all dopamine receptors at once.
Many of them don't even drink alcohol or coffee because they say they hate the taste, and when I ask them what they mean by it it always comes to them not being immediately agreeable, or not sweet at all.
I think the alcohol industry is realizing that many people who are coming of age now and joining the alcohol market will simply not drink snything that's remotely bitter or complex or bracing, so no beer, no wine, no spirits. It's getting drunk without the experience of drinking.
Look, some of us are just trying to recapture the magic of drinking the spiked "witches' brew" punch from a middle school Halloween party when we were 14, and the only way to do that is to mix Sour Apple Pucker with unnatural things, like Mountain Dew Zero and a preemptive dose of your myocardial arrhythmia medication. WE'RE GOIN' FOR A BROOM RIDE TONIGHT! YEEHAW!
I love a sweet fruity cocktail, don't get me wrong! I just noticed that some of the things I associate with drinking alcohol, coffee, tea, and so on, and most times enjoy about it, are a big turn-off for many younger people
Literally me, the only alcohol I drink semi-regularly is Seagram's Escapes.
Though my favorite drink is unsweetened black tea so I dunno what that says about me.
You like what you like, that's fair. It's a pretty big generational and class difference I've noticed at my workplace though
