Good point. Why not?

Maybe because it's illegal for anybody under the age of 21 to drink, and it's not as cheap as it used to be.

People under 21 normally don't find it that hard to get alcohol. And while alcohol is not as cheep as it used to be in terms of constant or even inflation adjusted dollars or pounds, but it probably is cheaper as a % of per capita income or GDP.

But my guess is that social intolerance is what turned the tide.

That makes sense.
