Jordan Peterson on Alcohol

It's just that people love to drink there. It's a fun culture. The further north you go, the more it becomes necessary to drink, especially in the winter, you know, and there's not much to do in those isolated little towns, yeah, I drink, I'd probably drink my own blood, yeah, well, that's it, that's funny. when I went back to the little town I was from as an adult even though no one had drunk for years it was like well what are we going to do well let's go to the bar why well because there's really nothing else to do so you know and you end up there but but but

alcohol

is it's okay it's hell it's a drug addict's hell Do you think you'll look at it?

You think it is? I'm going to start going out of my way to become obsolete. I'm starting to think that

alcohol

is almost a drug of the past. Little by little, I could see us with psychedelics and things like that becoming a little more in the common sphere of conversation, um, well, that's right. It would be interesting to see that we just legalized marijuana in Canada, yeah, yeah, like it's not, it's not completely legal yet, but the bill passed, so Canada is doing this experiment across the country and I know that there is some data to show that in US counties where marijuana has been legalized, the overuse of opiates for pain has decreased substantially and crime rates have gone down, interesting, well, there are still people high on marijuana, it's hard to pick someone's pocket, yeah, break into a building, I don't think so, you're just not going to fix it, you could knock for a long time, I think you could knock on the front door, I don't think you're going to come in through force and you won't, it might be true, you might call, you won't. you're going out, what are you going to go to the alley and fight?

No, you're not a very slow fight, well, as you look at your hands, yeah, it's like the chest with your hands, exactly exactly, that's not going to happen, so yeah, who? You know, I mean, if we were to legalize a bad drug, the worst option would be alcohol, that's definitely the case, you know, and I say this as an alcohol fanatic, me too, yeah, I like it, but it's a bad drug and Is it also starting to get archaic as we get into drugs? You know, people use more psychedelics, where people are a little bit curious about drugs that make you think, um, rather than drugs that make you not think well, yeah. true, yes, because alcohol is a kind of escape into total unconsciousness, although it certainly can be, yes, but yes, and alcohol also makes people aggressive, it is the only drug we know that really makes people aggressive in such a way that a massive effect is seen. about crime rates because half of the people who murder someone are drunk, oh yeah, and half of the people who get murdered are drunk, and you know, you're more likely to be murdered by a family member, like that that I've been joking with my audience.

Well, if you really want to get killed, the best thing you can do is go drink with a family member, which is statistically true, which is horribly comical, it's like yeah, go get drunk with your family if you want to die. , good night, good afternoon and so on.
