<p>It seems wrong that a privileged (!) class of people who can manage alcohol effectively in their lives do not try harder to make sure that the under-privileged, vulnerable members of society don’t end up addicted to this awful drug.</p>

<p>Voilà un angle intéressant. Cette dernière année m’aura montré que je n’ai pas de dépendance à l’alcool et que je ne bois que dans des relations sociales extra-familiales. De ce constat il n’y a qu’un pas avant de s’arrêter définitivement. Quitte à devoir se passer d’interactions sociales, autant renoncer aux béquilles devenues inutiles.</p>
<p>Ma motivation initiale était plus égoïste (?) que celle de l’auteur de l’article&nbsp;: j’aime boire du vin — principalement français — et mine de rien ça fait traverser l’océan à de lourdes et volumineuses bouteilles.</p>
<p><em>Entre l’écriture et la publication, je tombe sur <a href="https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1382057588527931393.html">ce fil Twitter</a> (<a href="/david/cache/2021/c967133574fd80e7f95ef901114b5385/">cache</a>) dur à lire, à la fois pour l’identification passée et l’éventuel futur. Peut-être qu’en montrant un autre exemple je soigne autre chose…</em></p>
