New Hope is a nice place for a day visit. It's a short walk across the bridge from Lambertville NJ and I believe there's public transit there.

He probably doesn't, and that's part of the problem. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The last 4 years they've been on hiatus. It used to be a yearly mass migration when they moved inland to Acme parking lots when the shore points empty out. They follow the people, because people leave a mess that they can eat. Lol.

The arguably comes from using a 'web of death' hypothesis in which you connect causality to the item in question. Does alcohol cause direct death on occasion, yes. Does it cause death to those adjacent to it on occasion, yes. Is the amount of death caused, taken as a percentage of instances of use, anywhere near fentanyl or heroin, no. Statistically speaking, alcohol is more dangerous than marijuana directly, but prohibition of marijuana causing a black market controlled by feuding factions of organized crime causes more death than the liquor stores. Prohibition is not the solution. The old way of trying to 'educate' youth on the dangers of a substance is not the solution. The younger generations coming up behind us already drink far less than we did at their age because they're more conscious of themselves, they don't use alcohol or drugs to self medicate. Mental health is being treated more and more seriously. Proper mental health awareness and treatment will, over time, be more effective at decreasing alcohol use and abuse.
