    • the graph covers 20 years. i think what we’re seeing is the 35+ y.o. people gradually cutting back because the doctor’s telling them to stop beating the shit out of their liver, in addition to younger generations not picking up the “let’s get shitfaced every weekend” habit

edit : I guess I should learn to read

Except the graph only covers 18-25 year olds. Those who aged out simply stopped being included in the reported population of this graph.

Naltrexone helps for anyone already seeing the doctor to curb the drinking urges.

Getting prescribed ER Adderall has done wonders for my other addictions lol.

No, that’s not how the graph works. It isn’t following one generational cohort as they age; it’s measuring the behavior of a certain age group and switching to new people as they age out.

It’s only measuring the second part of what you wrote.
