Thank you!!! We have accepted and normalized the alcohol industry to the point where, even many alcololics defend it! 😛😅😢😅😛 When I was slowly killing myself during a horrible binge and couldn’t even make it 3 blocks to my local liquor dealer, I somehow managed to download an alcohol delivery app on my phone!!! A freaking legal drug dealer that delivers my lethal fuel! Capitalism baby! A greenlight to self-destruction. Obviously I found my way out, but your article touches on some very important issues. Demonizing a comparatively benign substance and celebrating an often devastating substance is one of those issues. Great essay.
