Tobacco and alcohol are inextricably linked to suffering

The more you look at previous generations, the greater men’s physical and mental pressures were compared to women’s. That’s why men fell in love with smoking and drinking.

The more you look at later generations, the closer men’s and women’s physical and mental pressures become—and then you notice their hobbies gradually syncing up. Women like bubble tea, and men like bubble tea too.

That’s simply human nature. When men aren’t forced to endure hardship, their tastes should naturally align with women’s.
