> Alcohol use among high school seniors in the US is on the decline, so is use of any “illicit” drug.

Sounds wholesome, but is probably just the symptom of people going out and socializing less, resulting in increased isolation and loneliness.

hard to say. looking at me and my friends - we've got more time to socialize, plenty of friends, yet people drink less, and definitely use less tobacco(it's really unsexy to smoke cigarettes now, and vaping in public is just embarrassing), because we're more health focused. I have to admit I'm a regular user of psychedelics. drugs are decriminalized where I'm from. unless there will be long term consequences, i don't think it impacted me in any bad way, frankly the opposite, albeit "wasting" some time with friends.

According to Pew, teen alcohol consumption has been in decline since 1997.
