I am genuinely staggered by how pervasive alcoholism is in the US. I've encountered a lot of alcoholics but I never would have guessed that 1 out of 10 Americans over the age of 12 will drink more than 4 of those 750ml "fifths" every week. Just crazy.

Yeah OK but can we get a stat on how many of those lick the bottle?

the problem doesn't go away with forbidding the use of alcohol, they already tried.

I use to drink a fifth of whiskey every night. I quit drinking completely cold turkey 5 years ago. Now I just smoke angel dust. My days seem so much brighter. I can fight cops for hours now. Thank you angel dust.

I quit cold turkey six months ago. Best decision I've made all year

Don't worry, pot addiction will overtake it soon if it hasn't already.

I’m pretty sure this is from that book that argues in favor of bringing back prohibition. IIRC the data is mostly lies.
