There’s a big anti-alcohol movement going on right now. I think it’s basically because our lords and masters are very much afraid that we’ll somehow have fun, enjoy ourselves, talk too much, hang out with friends, etc.
In other words, we won’t be a reliable humanoid cog in the government wheels, which turn solely to maintain the members of the master class in the style to which they do not want us to become accustomed.
They want people on marijuana and opiods.
I go out with friends to wine bars and restaurants a couple of times a week.
I’ve noticed this January everywhere is REALLY empty. I think it’s a combo of omicron fears (I’m in fearful CA) and “Dry Januaries” that people like to do now—no drinking in Jan.
I opt to not participate in dry Jans—life is short! But yes, everything in moderation.
