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.
Doctors are not just merchants. I’ve had indifferent ones and ones that really gave a damn. Many of them go into the field and stick with it to help people. Many do not, but it’s not accurate to paint the bunch with one brush.
Not sure how it works in other countries but in US they are just merchants… You are only getting a proper care if they care. They have responsibility to merely do what their corpo employer tells them to. Which ain’t much.
