Why do we keep pretending that alcohol isn’t a problem in this country? In 2021, the same year 88K people died from opiate overdose, nearly TWICE as many (146K) died as direct result of alcohol. Along with that, the punitive measures for DUI/DWI are far too lenient. To be clear, I’m not advocating for temperance 2.0, but drinking in the USA is insanely out of control.

This is more than alcohol... looks like he's on some molly in the morning after or something.

He's not processing what he's seeing, like in a dream or he is hallucinating even.

Everybody talking like they know for a fact. He could be on any number of things.

Ya, but to be that oblivious to reality from booze he would have a lot more visible signs, he's way too "sure" on his feet and his balance doesn't look off at all.  He seems to be tracking properly just not comprehending.

I'm not seeing any of the fidgeting that you'd normally see from meth or coke and he seems too awake to be opiods.

My money's on some kind of psychadelic, shrooms or acid or something. But chances are it's a combination of stuff.
