      Okay so I don't at all deny the premise that alcohol is a really bad drug compared to other drugs but what that means is if you're gonna clamp down on alcohol you better be proliferating cheap legal weed at the same timehttps://twitter.com/olgakhazan/status/1217113071799414784 …

      Happy dry January! I wrote about why there's a relative dearth of anti-alcohol groups in the U.S., given how deadly alcohol is https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/01/why-there-no-anti-alcohol-movement/604876/ … pic.twitter.com/ITt9VOXoSe

      And honestly I question the whole "Where did the temperance movement go?" framing as being extremely short-term thinking Yeah we saw an overall backlash after the disaster of Prohibition Drinking is still on a massive downturn historically speaking

      Yeah we still have booze at after hours events held by many companies and a lot of pressure to participate in drinking at social events and parties and it's a legit problem But the Mad Men days of drinking during the workday at lunch meetings have vanished

      The article says that post-Prohibition the brewing industry started using soldiers in ads for beer to give you the idea that drinking was part of the patriotic warfighting lifestyle Okay but it wasn't just the commercials They straight up *gave you alcohol* in the military

      The Army used to *give you beer* as part of the meals they issued to you In WWII it was actually law that 15% of the output of the US brewing industry be set aside for the troops, it was seen as a necessity

      The discontinuation of issuing beer and cigarettes during Vietnam was a big deal and made headline news about the shifting tides of military culture "Black Tot Day" (Jul. 31, 1970) is commemorated in the UK as the last day of the daily grog ration in the Navy
