Also people don't drink alcohol because it's safe and healthy but because it's fun or because they are addicted.

Well, sometimes there's also social pressure, to 'just drink one beer'. My mum tells me that also used to be a thing for cigarettes. I feel like that died off, because people became aware of the health effects.

Cigarettes also used to be marketed as healthy. But in general - it's a really good skill to learn to deal with social pressure. But I feel like it's also better with the new generation - or at least inside the rather specific bubble I'm part of.
