So did you also do other hard drugs because they were hidden from you? Heroin, Coke, Crack, Meth?
The opiod crisis has an entirely different basis to them, as tons of Americans were made addicted by reckless prescriptions first.
And again, seeing my and other parents drink regularly did not stop us from being reckless around alcohol. Instead what it does makes clear signs of alcoholism not be taken as warning. "Dad had two beers every day, whats the harm in three?"
There is things the US does badly, like not allowing alcohol until 21 and then giving access to vodka and beer alike, where many European countries have different ages for booze and lower strength alcohol. But the idea that people in Europe are more responsible around alcohol doesn't hold to reality. The US had about 120k alcohol related deaths per year, which jumped to 180k with the pandemic. Germany is at a stable 60-70k a year. But Germany has less than one fourth of the US population.
I'm sorry for all decent Jewish people that are being equated with fascist violent mobs, as European politicians blindly claim that showing "solidarity" with these mobs is showing solidarity to Jews.
Once again, like so many times in the recent but also more distant past, these politicians are perpetrating antisemitism by their equation of Israel and especially Israels most vile nationalists with Judaism and Jewish identity. And once again it shows that antisemitism and Zionism go hand in hand and profit from each other.
