And here we are in retirement and it's still going strong. I think it's an addiction that we all pay for, in one way or another.
It is a bad bad addiction and when you NEED it to have fun...it IS an addiction.

But it is legal, thus its fine, but making light of the mind altering things it does just is a bit dicey to me. Would we support discussing how neat it was to get high on drugs ? Based on what I read, maybe I suppose.
