I agree. I have a drink here and there on the weekends sometimes, but the normalization of getting hammered, blackout drunk is unhealthy. I’ve always thought it was “funny”, for lack of a better term, when online dating and seeing people who have a problem with people who do drugs, even marijuana or smoking cigarettes but their own profile is filled of pics of them with booze and their profile is jokes about getting drunk and alcohol being their personality.
A little examination on this would benefit society.
Really our normalization of drinking needs to be re-examined.
I remember thinking all the anti smoking stuff wouldn’t change anything. I was wrong. We really can change.

for me it was my realization that some of my drinking was a mental illness (I was never an alcoholic but I was self medicating with alcohol)
I feel so much better now I have one or two beers every few weeks
