I really appreciate you taking such a bold stance on this, Megan. I wish I could do that more (take a strong stance). And I enjoy the way you turn your personal overcomings into cultural critiques on Medium. ☀️

I absolutely agree. Alcohol is inherently addictive while being negative in its effect. I’m sure some people will feel upset by this article but these are truths we need to hear. There’s so much cultural diversity and sensory richness around alcohol that people desire to keep celebrating, but the world would be a happier place if that cultural expression got channeled into something healthier!
