Transparent wish fulfillment for prudes and the overly religious.

Sure, bars are targeting people who don't drink, millenials are postponing sex until after marriage, recreational pot is only smoked by non-whites, or at least non-evangelicals, and Santa Claus is real!

People are drinking less and less every year, this is a real thing with lots of data and has no correlation with religion. This is Denver, one of the first cities in the world to decriminalize marijuana and the first state to legalize it completely, you think the prudes did that?

No, I think a lazy reporter is pandering to what they believe is a safe audience to pander to.

Touched a sore spot, huh?

Yes. Lazy reporting that relies on cliches the reporter believes about their audience always bothers me.
