I dunno, I needed an extra glass last night to nurse my aching wrist. No pain meds. Pain meds are bad MOJO.

I’m a little confused by the idea that the wine/opioid addiction correlation is actually a socio-economic relation. Please feel free to correct me, but my impression of the opioid epidemic was always that it was highly unusual in that due to opioids being spread by prescriptions and medical drugs not exactly being cheap, it was an unusual crisis in that it was spreading uncontrollably throughout the middle to upper middle to upper socio-economic classes – the same classes that would be into wine. I find it very informational to know that at least in the US the opioid prescription rate is inverse to the wine consumption rate but I am highly skeptical that social economics explains it away. Can anyone give me a bit more insight into this?
I don’t know about ya’ll, but I don’t know anyone who is an opioid addict, but nearly everyone I know drinks wine.

Opioid addiction and overdoses in the US tends to be among the white working class, particularly in rural areas
In the US, addiction and overdoses affect mostly non-Hispanic Whites from the working class. Native Americans and Alaska Natives experienced a five-fold increase in opioid-overdose deaths between 1999 and 2015, with Native Americans having the highest increase of any demographic group. There is significant speculation as to the root causes of the demographic differences, but thus far a credible explanation has yet to be found given the complexity of the issue and the difficulty in contro In 2014,...
