Humans have been making and drinking alcohol since at least 10,000 BCE, so it's definitely not a "new norm" [1].

Choosing not to drink is a perfectly reasonable life choice. If you act like a jerk to other people who choose to drink, though, I wouldn't expect that to make you any friends. Live and let live; it's a personal choice either way.
