RE: Why are we obsessed with drinking?
Maybe it's self medication? Numbing the stresses of society.
This is something we should be talking more about.
Furthermore, pharmaceuticals are just as bad. Though, "legal".
Just a sad topic, a sad realization.
That a very good point. But there are beter things too self medicate with. But alcohol is just made very accessible.
Love is also very accessible. I think, relationships and good connections with good people are great medication. In a world were technology separates, politics separate and news separates, it's no wonder we need "medication".
It's hard to truly understand the issue with self medication on alcohol or other drugs. But I do believe being disconnected from peers, family and friends causes more use of drugs and alcohol. Nothing feels better than having good friendships and relationships with people you can trust and love. Perhaps, missing this connection is the route to addiction? In it's true sense.
Thoughts?
I think you are on point.
