  • One thing I wish someone would have talked at me about more often in relation to getting older… You already have problems you’re probably not paying enough attention to that you should look at now.

    Does your neck always hurt in a weird way when you get up? Mole that you were looking at one day and it doesn’t look quite right? Maybe you just started feeling a weird feeling in some part of your body and it never got worse so you just got used to ignoring it?

    You’re getting to the point where those tend to start escalating. Take inventory and get them checked out.



  • I think comparing it to tobacco might be a bit limited. Tobacco has had some stints of popularity, but the history of tobacco doesn’t even compare to the history of alcohol. There are theories that we’ve been drinking alcohol longer than we’ve been human coming from some interesting adaptations one of our pre-human ancestors developed with the ability to metabolize ethanol. It’s not a perfect theory, but it’s an interesting one.

    Plenty of historical cycles too where society has pushed away alcohol and it always seems to come back. It’s interesting that prohibition was around 100 years ago and the temperance movement started about 100 years before that. Kinda feel like we’re just in one of those downturns and the next generation is going to have some serious ragers.
