Thank you, John! I appreciate it and it sounds like we are on the same page. I hope things eventually shift. Tellbetterstories2018 is doing some amazing work on Instagram and the internet calling out the advertising and messaging around alcohol. It’s striking how saturated we are with images glorifying drinking. But we used to live in a world where medical doctors endorsed smoking, so I have a little hope this might slowly and eventually change.
