    Alcohol. Or drugs for that matter. But alcohol is the one that actually pisses me off when depicted in media. It’s always some character downing a glass of something and then having this super happy face and enjoying themselves. Like, fuck off? Anyone I know who drinks doesn’t even enjoy the flavor of it, and it being romanticized into this fancy, social drink is genuinely infuriating.

    As for drugs, I just don’t understand the reason why someone would want to alter their mental capabilities.

      Trauma Trauma can easily make it where you can’t stand your own thoughts or how you feel. So anything that augments that can be very attractive.

      I’d day mental health too, even if you don’t have known traumas. Major depression, etc. But I know women who can’t relax or aren’t very intimate unless they drink. But as someone with an alcoholic father, alcohol has some big dark sides. Even if you are happy when you drink, it can really mess your brain up.

      Not saying you have to but it would make the point that at least you know what you’re rejecting and why
