General Discussion

So, they're not indulging fewer vices. Just one of the worst. Nicotine will mess you up, even if it doesn't come in tobacco form.

Anyway, I agree with the assessment that young people are just joining the rest of us in their understanding that the price of everything is too high to enjoy that which was once enjoyable. We, for many other reasons now, are officially a joyless, dystopian hellhole.

And that last reason is why, ladies and gentlemen, I have not quit drinking. I can afford booze. I can wait to put it off until the weekends. And I hope to wake up one morning to hear that the author of all this misery is stone cold dead.
