What is the \u2018Damp lifestyle\u2019 trend on TikTok? Unsplash.com: BENCE BOROSTikTok\u2019s latest craze is called the \u2018damp lifestyle,\u2019 with users across the app promoting \u2018moderate drinking\u2019 and a more balanced alcohol consumption. TikTok is a haven for all kinds of trends and fads. From must-have accessories like Steve Madden bags taking over the platform to profile picture \u2018cults\u2019 and more, TikTok is the trend-setter of social media sites. Now, a new player has entered the ring in the seemingly endless string of emerging TikTok trends, and this one is taking aim at users\u2019 drinking habits. Dubbed the \u2018damp lifestyle,\u2019 TikTokers across the app are promoting a different relationship with alcohol than what might be seen in the party scene or on movies and TV. Rather than going ham at the bar or quitting cold turkey altogether, some TikTok users are wanting a more \u2018neutral\u2019 relationship with alcohol. TikTok\u2019s \u2018damp lifestyle\u2019 trend promotes moderate drinking \u201cTo me, the damp lifestyle is internalizing the fact that drinking culture and your relationship with alcohol does not have to be black or white, all or nothing,\u201d TikToker hana.elson said of the fad, which she says she essentially \u201ckick-started.\u201d \u201cLiving the damp lifestyle has shown me that drinking is not what makes me fun. The girl that\u2019s the most drunk at the party\u2026is not my entire identity. I am fun when I\u2019m at a bar or a social situation because I\u2019m me. It\u2019s my personality that makes me that way.\u201d Another TikToker, \u2018therealsamelle,\u2019 described the damp lifestyle as \u201cnot completely dry, so you\u2019re not completely sober, and you still drink from time to time.\u201d Although plenty of commenters have applauded the \u2018damp lifestyle,\u2019 others are calling it for what it is \u2014 drinking in moderation. \u201cI think it\u2019s just called a healthy relationship with alcohol guys,\u201d one user joked. \u201cI think that\u2019s called just getting older,\u201d another said. Yet another joked that they\u2019re calling themselves \u201csober curious.\u201d This is just the latest fad to take over TikTok after the \u2018Koopa Dance\u2019 went viral, inspired by the Super Mario games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
