As a casual drinker, I so much appreciate more people refusing alcohol (slrpnk.net)

I've always hated how alcohol commercials play up like a cool beer is the best thing in the world, or a glass of whiskey is what will put hair on your chest. It's a disgusting narrative that ruins people's lives.

On social media, there's a huge variety of it. People posting how they were sober on NYE. Folks sharing before/after as they've gone cold turkey. I see people share tips of what type of mocktails to get at bars, and alternatives to having a fun night over getting drunk.

I appreciate that.

And this is not bashing alcohol. Moderation in everything.

Many people are satisfied with their chiropractor services

That seems awfully self-selecting, doesn't it? Someone that is dissatisfied is not likely to remain a customer

Medical Community used their stupid PR to drive them from the discourse

Why are you blaming this on actual medical practitioners immediately after saying "They did it to themselves with the voodoo bullshit trying to be pretend doctors". Of course actual doctors aren't interested in what people who are lying about being doctors have to say

The customer decides, not the quack;)

The customer decides what?

I don't see what point you're trying to make. Yes, the customer decides what they're happy with. I didn't say otherwise
