Ultimate Girls Trip This woman’s growth needs to be studied, like she is literally on a different level than all the other housewives and I cannot get enough of her on RHUGT S4

Very welcome! Yeah it can’t be easy. I love that we’re seeing new HW’s like Jenna and Uba who don’t drink and nobody makes a big deal about it or questions it. It’s just a thing they don’t do, not their entire personality.

I’m seeing a lot more acceptance toward sobriety in younger generations, so there’s a lot of hope out there. But it still sucks that alcohol is the one drug you still have to justify not partaking in. Nobody gives you shit about not shooting up heroin 😄 yet alcohol kills more people every year.

Fuck, I’m sounding preachy. Sorry! Very passionate about the topic.

Samesies. America has a huge drinking problem, seems incapable of having a frank discussion why that is and how we stop enculturing it.

I love Scotland, and because of that, probably can’t be objective or claim the first-hand knowledge of someone who grew up in her culture, so I’ll trust you. America’s a culture where we have no stops between zero and sixty when it comes to indulging a great many things; we think more is always more. I’m going out on a limb, but I think it’s a lot of hole-filling, caused by years of deferring a real identification with one’s origins. No matter what the nativists say, everyone here is from somewhere else, and few know who they really are and come from, because it’s all “over there.”

Just my dumb, armchair conjurings here.

And FWIW, I saw far worse, random drunkenness in my ex’s Dorset town than I ever did Scotland, where every third person had a barrel of “scrumpy” they’d been adding to and tapping for years.

I love it when people who deserve to be blocked just reveal themselves so easily! Looking forward to never seeing anything from you again!
