  • "No more hugs till you give up drugs. I know it sucks. For once think about us". I find this line inspiring and empathic. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, in Bethesda, Maryland, puts the US annual bill for alcohol abuse at $235 billion — almost 80% more than the costs related to all other addictive drugs combined. Alcohol, claims more than 80,000 lives each year in the United States, is responsible for one-third of all fatal car crashes, half of all homicides, one-third of all suicides and one-third of all hospital admissions (Nature, Nov. 2010, The Party's Over, doi:10.1038/468475a). What is not frequently mentioned, but more frequently experienced, is how much the ensuing dynamics can tear families apart emotionally; this video addresses that AND has great music! Thanks!

    Loved the end, it was pretty good. Went from being funny, to being a little bit serious, then ended on a nice note.

    Also, Tegan and Sara are pretty awesome. Heard about them last year.
