Nobody is surprised when people who start off smoking socially, progress to smoking in the morning. Nobody is shocked when an occasional heroin user becomes a daily heroin user. Because we openly acknowledge that cigarettes and heroin are addictive. We know they’re bad guys. Yet, talking about alcohol as a villain is socially taboo. You’re seen as a wet blanket, a joy-slayer, a party pooper if you do so. It’s a mass delusion of millions.
