China is terrifying. They've made so many policies that straight up have destroyed their own people time and again. Mao's famous policy against birds that create a famine that killed 45 million people. One child policy that resulted in hundreds of millions of abortions, infant murders. Possible organ harvesting of political prisoners. Torture.

Now human trafficking because there aren't enough women. If any place needs a revolution it's China. They'll sadly never get one.

Eh shouldn't medical personnel do that

Now that's a powerful statement, and wonderfully succinct.

r/stopdrinking is a good community on reddit just FYI but maybe you're already on it.

On a personal level if you think of alcohol as anything but a food product or thinking of "moderation" at all, then a problem exists. Nobody that has a healthy relationship with alcohol has to consider "moderation". It's a desert, a small treat of one maybe two drinks. Except literally on a biological level folks that become sensation seeking drinkers, change certain aspects of their brain to be able to immediately jump back into addictive drinking behavior. Repeat binge drinking especially creates strong connections in the brain that don't just go away after a few months. Drinking again just waters them like a weed.

And what alcoholics always like to forget, the whole point is that alcohol lowers inhibition and all that hard work gets dumped because after the 2nd drink you're buzzed enough to not care about a 3rd, or just need the tiniest push to reason it out, then maybe the next time or 20 more after you've had another incident because you strengthened the same neural pathways again.

Nobody says "I can stop after 3 slices of cake" or "3 cheeseburgers".
