    Survivor bias… they incorrectly believe that because they lived that there was no actual danger. Truly, the selfish and self-absorbed generation. :(

      Well ya know I drank really really hard for 40 years, but I didn’t have liver failure.

      Guess there’s no consequences for alcoholism! Guess I can keep drinking forever! I am immortal!

      And THAT is what I imagine my still alcoholic boomer dad must think daily.

        I grew up when drunk driving was legal! I had a van, and was always the designated drunk driver! Cops would stop me and tell me to drive safer in case another cop was arsed to pull me over! Never got busted, and never died!!

        Woke snowflakes today, I tell ya’ !
