What's up with this alcohol worship I see everywhere lately, /lit/?

In most films, shows, hell even youtube videos directed towards young adults, there's always this "ironic" indulgence of getting drunk. It'd be something like:

>"Jesus man, you don't know jack!"
>>"(grabbing a bottle of Jack Daniels) Hey me and Jack go way back!"

I understanding drinking has always been part of society at large, but it never seemed to feature so strongly in pop-culture as it does this days. What gives?

Money. Product placement. Given our schizophrenic news and accusing culture I wouldn't be surprised if consumption is way up.

You see in pretty much all literature since Homer. Its just part of our culture and what people do. I don't particularly see as much of it as you do.

I think it's funny how they got smoking back on the screen with period pieces

Have you consumed any media from any other generation? From at least the 80s onward (possibly even before that but I'm less familiar) drinking has been common in entertainment because alcohol is a huge part of late adolescence and early adulthood in the US.

This thread does belong in /pol/, but alcohol and writing go hand in hand.

I'm watching a movie called murder my sweet (based on a raymond chandler book) right now and its 74 years old and literally every scene revolves around ETOH with lots of quips and dialogue like you quote. It's nothing new, like most people who think the worlds getting worse you're probably just taking in more mature or darker art or understanding it from a more mature point of view.

Now, if you want to talk about the preponderance of "marijuana worship" in our culture these days you might be on to something.

It's just a picture but it's easy see bits of that when you live in a shitty place filled with criminal youths, junkies and deviants while the naive upper-middle class who wouldn't drive through your neighbourhood in an armored SUV act like it's not only great and progressive but that you're to blame for any of their faults.

>grow up in shitty neighbourhood with plenty of problems
>childhood friends from richer families get sent to private schools as things get worse
>years later look them up to stay in touch
>they're preaching about tolerance when they don't know the meaning of it and insult anyone with a critical view as 'ignorant'
I can't blame them though, I wish I had parents that sheltered me so.

i do live in a shit neighbourhood and i see junkies and criminals often, what does that have to do with the upper-middle class? why do you care about these people's opinions? you are indulging your brain in information that has no effect on you

and what do you mean by "tolerance"? i only hear that word in relation to immigration or non-whites, i've never once heard anyone mention tolerating junkies or criminals, while some people may feel sympathy for these people and how they've ended up where they've ended up i don't think anybody thinks they should be allowed to continue doing what they're doing except for other junkies and criminals
