People spend tons and tons of money on something just to feel different for the day/night. But once the next day comes around, reality strikes back and we are left feeling crappy, aka a hangover. Even worse, society pushes through advertising on how "great" it is through luxurious marketing. When really, there is nothing about it that makes it awesome. This is only my honest opinion on this commodity. I respect everyone's opinion as each individual is different in their own unique way. It was always something I thought recently after being awakened to the world at large.
If this seems like a doomer post, I offer my sincere apologies as that was never my intention!
I'll have a drink or two at night after a long day because I'm a grown-ass adult well beyond those college frat party years and enjoy a good mead. You probably should have had your title be Alcohol Abuse is Such a Dangerous Waste so you don't sound like a Prohibition Crone lumping in casual responsible drinkers with the rest of Them.
