"Alcohol is a poison, harmful to the soul and body, therefore it is a great sin to drink alcohol and to offer it to others, and it is an even greater sin to produce and sell this poison" Tolstoy

This is extremely relevant to my worldview in 2020.
In 2015 I worked at a beautiful orchard, in hard-cider production.
I enjoyed it for a while... but then I started to see the evil side of alcohol(ism).
One of The Most addictive, destructive, soul-sucking activities and substances . . . . AND IT IS EVERYWHERE!

Once I started to recognize it for what it was - poison to the people - I could not stop seeing it
and it became sadly obvious that there were trendy new bars and breweries in every direction.

I could ramble on and on about this for days, lol

Life is what we make of it. and it is so so so much better without poison. Peace to everyone.

Not to mention one of the most toxic as it has to pass through almost every organ directly, as opposed to other substances that have one point of entry (membrane or vein) into the bloodstream
