We’ve also been brainwashed from birth to believe that we are weak and fragile and dependent on pills, and that alcohol will provide us with both a pleasure and a crutch. As youngsters, why on earth should we even question the brainwashing? It must be true.

OK, they might also tell us the dangers of drinking alcohol. So what: they tell us that motorbikes are dangerous but does that stop us from riding them?
