Drinking alcohol.
I bring this up all the time, especially with Menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars being in the news recently because the FDA missed its own deadline for banning them. They specifically mention the flavor bans are because children like flavors, WTF, you gonna ban a coughdrop-tasting cigarette but still sell me Cotton Candy Vodka? How fucking hypocritical.
Beyond that, getting drunk has become a "fun" event when you're young or hanging out with friends. It is also so prevalent in movies and tv..
Agreed, especially young adults who get drawn to it thinking "drinking is cool" or something you do when you become an adult, that, has to stop.
Alcohol is way more ingrained into society though, we've been getting drunk for most of human history!
