We’re incredibly proud of our second-year scholar, @leseija.bsky.social, for publishing a compelling op-ed in STAT exploring U.S. alcohol policies and the cultural attitudes surrounding drinking. #AdvocacyInAction
in this op-ed, i discuss how america’s favorite drug, alcohol, is also its most dangerous.
i explore its normalized role in society, the challenges in holding it accountable through policy, & the cultural chokehold it has on us that hinders any meaningful progress.
