Joe Rogan and Rick Doblin discuss why teenagers in Europe, especially in Italy, don’t have the same alcohol problems as teens in the U.S. While wine is normalized as part of a meal in Europe, prohibition in the U.S. pushes teens toward stronger, more concentrated dru*s. Exploring the “iron law of prohibition” and lessons from drinking culture.

Challenge, they don’t get stupid, that’s the argument to legitimize children having alcohol…….
That’s because in Europe you can drink at 18. It’s not a massive forbidden thing like in America. 😅
Depends on where in Europe 👀
Have you heard of THC in ALCOHOLIC beverages? Companies are trying… Research is key….
My family is German and French. Alcohol is never a taboo in our household. I was the “bartender” as a kid. My parents fav was piña colada. When I made them I would get the left overs after I filled their glasses. When all my friends turned old enough to drink its was a crazy night of drinking.
This ain't nothing. What about Sora's run-in with Seifer in the Sandlot if you decide not to go straight to the station.
Alkohol is no good for noone
In Italy the sale and the use of alcohol and cigarettes is forbidden till 16 years old. We do not have so many problems with alcohol because we try to have fun with something else 😮😊
American drink to get fucked up… In Spain we grew up watching our grandparents/parents drinking wine for lunch and dinner. Also we all tried it while being very very young ( nobody likes it at that age) we normalize to drink on or two glasses but no drinking whiskey like if you just came from training and had no water for the whole training.
The UK has a problem where teens use fake IDs to get cheap alcohol and drink it in a park or somewhere private
Its because they are allowed a small drink with meals.. i was in turkey when i was 14 and they served me a single brandy with my meal.. it felt weird, but it was the norm.
Joe Rogan spilling bs as usual.
I started drinking and using drugs early and found everything easy to quit except the pain medication prescribed by my doctor. Now, I'm taking junk that doesn't work for pain.
Not the lean
