Question

Adobe Stock Fail

Searching for inspiring young girls reveals 35 images featuring girls with alcohol on the first page. In contrast, searching for inspiring young boys shows significantly fewer alcohol-related photos. This disparity is both disappointing and biased.

Not surprised. 🙂 Adobe's search algorithm can seem very loose at times. Of course, a lot of the results depend on the keywords used by the contributor. In any case, I tried the same search string and while there were a handful of woman holding drinks on the first page, the majority of images were on point. Also, you should not include your personal contact information in your posts out of privacy concerns. A moderator might get around to removing this information.

When I search for inspiring girl, I find only 5 or so in the first page of 100 images that include glassware/drinking.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
