lol doctors used to "prescribe" cigarettes, too. alcohol is literally poison; of course even a little bit is bad for you. I drink, too, but I don't lie to myself about what I'm doing when I do it.
that scandal is peanuts compared to the death and suffering they have wrought for years. all of the people involved in the insider trading are rich, powerful white people. they will get slaps on the wrists and pay some fines. it's not nearly as big of a deal as you think.
