Some articles should be flagged for lack of logos...

Some things posted on the internet just have little to no factual evidence and this article the influence staff has written on RawStory.com is a perfect example of that. They state that millennials are being brain washed by social media into buying expensive alcoholic beverages. To that, I say: who cares? They back the useless argument with some just as useless information; "28 percent of Millennials endorsed the statement 'I sometimes order a premium brand just to impress my peers,' compared to only 11 percent of Baby Boomers." Allow me to explain everything wrong with this information. First of all, millennials who are of legal drinking age are in there early 20's making them more likely to go out drinking than a 55-70 year old. Second of all, millennials are more likely to post on social media than a baby boomer in general. Many baby boomers do not even have social media to post their beverages on. Do the influence staff of RawStory.com honestly believe that baby boomers never purchased an expensive drink at a bar to impress someone when they were in their 20's? This a non issue, buying expensive drinks to show off is not a millennial thing, it is a young person thing, the means of showing off has just changed.
