You can blame it on young people. Nobody wants to be on a beach with a bunch of bros being loud, passing out, fighting...



There's a decent argument to be made that the over-consumption which leads to the obnoxious behaviors is a result of the laws that make drinking a rebellious activity.

People regularly pay $20+ to be in that environment for an evening indoors.


It is a negative thing, but it used to be a way of life. No idea if there is a correlation to decreasing levels of testosterone and sperm count in males in the past half of a century since we have reliable data. Possibly taming men to extinction, possibly completely unrelated. Looking at my young male cats, playing and fighting is a big part of their lives. I think this is true for most higher species.
