The state of American mental health without access to top recreational substances like alcohol is...well, it will be interesting to see what it's like. My stepdad drinks a case of beer a day (a "cube" is how he describes that serving). There are band-aids on all kinds of wounds
i wonder, what must those insides be like, especially if he's priming the gut with a pack of smokes and chasing his booze (which i assume is also his food) with a can of chewing tobacco?
