Had to add that at a young age, probably any age, when people are somewhat introverted and shy in social situations, that's where alcohol does its dirty work. At 16 and no big social circle, introverted and then getting the first buzz from a beer, that tastes disgusting and is hard to get down anyways, it changes your brain chemistry. All of a sudden your social, talking up, people are laughing, probably at you for being a fool, but it feels like you are the life of the party.
A few more times struggling to quickly drink a nasty beer for the buzz, not the taste and then running with friends that just did the same, the world is unleashed. Having fun, doing stupid stuff and before long, you just can't wait for the next weekend or time to get a buzz and party on 😎 dude!
Before long, your body adjusts and your social life follows and you are chasing that buzz and that party that was so much fun, but they get fewer and further apart.
Next thing your old, drinking alone, just because you can't stand not drinking and don't know what normal is.
If you finally make it past all that and haven't drank for a year or more, suddenly it's a new world and you understand better how to maneuver in it and be happy.
Just don't start!

Back when the sugar industry was running in Hawaii, Maui in particular, the owners of the mill, fields and a very big portion of Maui, named A&B, Alexander and Baldwin, the original families that amassed most of the real Este in Hawaii with a few other families, they laid off the field workers for two weeks every year around Christmas to lower their costs.
Later in the company magazine, I read where the person that set the lay offs up, made a huge bonus each year for laying them off.
So all these farm workers families, mostly Filipino, Japanese and Hawaiian had to tighten their belts every Christmas and New Years to get by. All while the money saved just went to the top executives. Not like it helped them become a stronger company.
Had they used that money to reinvent the farms from sugar to diversified agriculture, they would still be in the business.
Instead they shut it down and sold it to concentrate on their real estate developments in Hawaii.
Obviously making more money in real estate.
I don't live there after a lifetime there and the houses are WAY over what an average person can afford.

America's enemies only have to sit back and be patient. These troubles will be the end to civilized countries.
I don't care who immigrates to our country, but there is a reason to go through the vetting process in order to sort the good from the bad as well as possible.
There are no guarantees that a vetted legal immigrant won't be a bad apple, but at least the countries know more about them, where they came from and how they plan to support themselves and add something good to our country.
For many years, immigrants have moved to various countries and added to the quality of not only their life, but others.
To just throw the doors open and allow the worst people entry, unvetted and with no way to track them in the country is ludicrous.
Many other countries wouldn't do that.
As an American citizen, law abiding and able to support myself, I have had trouble trying to visit my son and grandson in Australia.
The vetting process asked questions that I have to answer, so a minor issue with a very evil second ex-wife left a mark on me legally.
I had to go through hoops to get police and court records to show them for a visa.
The day they denied me from visiting and closed the case on me, is the day the police clearance arrived, clearing me of any wrong doing.
So I have to try again. If it wasn't for family in Australia, I wouldn't even bother trying to go, but my fear is it could affect my passport negatively.
So I will try again.
To see people just pouring into our countries and others, while people cry that everyone should be admitted, makes me sick to my stomach.
I too have noticed the difference as people come in illegally and yet qualify for more benefits than residents, elderly and vets.
I don't mind immigrants taking jobs, what I resent is they get away without contributing to our system. Social security that many of us elderly depend on is always at danger of going bankrupt and yet if all these people were legal and worked legally, there would not be issues with Social security becoming insolvent.
