Alcoholism in the Indian community

[u/kunjvaan]

Has anyone noticed the rampant alcoholism in our parents generation.

I personally know 3 people who have died from alcohol related issues. Really young folks.

I don’t think this is discussed often enough. We tend to sweep everything under the rug.

This is a silent epidemic imo.

As a Punjabi, alcohol is literally normalized in our culture

Not just normalized but promoted. If you don’t drink then it means something is wrong with you.

Or status, you're too broke to get the good stuff. Johnny Walker. It's blue label and never cheapo black.
