In a small MI town of 400, @ronfrench27.bsky.social reports that 5 young men lost to #fentanyl overdoses—4 from a single high school class of 35. The football coach buried 4 ex-players, including his son. A stark reminder this crisis spares no community

We talk about 'alcohol and drugs' like they're two different things — but they're not.

This week on The Poisoning, I talked to author Ericka Andersen about America's blind spot with alcohol — and why we need to rethink how we treat it.
