Thanksgiving was honestly sad at some points this year, this idea that "Family fucking sucks and no one wants to be here, we all need to drink just to deal with each other" is so pervasive and pessimistic it's disgusting. Funnily enough, dealing with this world sober really makes you wish for a drink; still glad to have quit though.

Theory:
People often don't learn to be fully social without alcohol. Drinking young prevents them from developing the ability to be interesting. Their peers are drunk, too, and so everybody tolerates everybody's inability to form conversation. They require alcohol to loosen up and so are artificially tense when sober. They reserve gregarious behavior and goofy statements for when inebriated to ensure a lower risk of ostracization if a joke goes wrong.
