77 - Dry Generation and Dusty Memories of a Wilder Time

In this episode of The Barn Philosopher, we reflect on a surprising cultural shift—young people today are drinking less. Shelby and Ridge take a walk down memory lane, back to a time when drinking was almost a rite of passage. From rowdy nights to questionable choices, it felt like part of living fast and making the most of a fleeting youth. But times are changing—and maybe for the better. We unpack what this trend says about a new generation, and how it ties into our own youthful sense of mortality. Was all that urgency about really living—or just fearing the clock would run out too soon? Join us for stories, reflection, and maybe a little wisdom from the other side of the bar.
