The drinking laws are what did it and they very much predate these phone habits.

I watched as people quit driving over to each other’s houses in the evenings and weekends for BBQs and beer, and as dinner parties became sort of over after the meal since people couldn’t keep drinking wine or cocktails and talking, it became coffee and leaving at 9 pm.
