I've always hated how alcohol commercials play up like a cool beer is the best thing in the world, or a glass of whiskey is what will put hair on your chest. It's a disgusting narrative that ruins people's lives.

On social media, there's a huge variety of it. People posting how they were sober on NYE. Folks sharing before/after as they've gone cold turkey. I see people share tips of what type of mocktails to get at bars, and alternatives to having a fun night over getting drunk.

I appreciate that.

And this is not bashing alcohol. Moderation in everything.

The chiropractic field drove themselves from the scientific discourse by refusing to participate in peer-reviewed double-blind studies. I'm very good friends with a chiropractor and know others through them. If I had a nickel for every "science can't study what we do" I'd be a rich man. We just don't talk about it because it's not productive to friendship lol
