but you could argue that society as a whole would be better off without alcohol

Yes it would be better off but this is true only if society never had alcohol. Clearly the current generation at the time of the alcohol ban would struggle with this but if you grow up without alcohol you’re not going to miss.

/never had alcohol just for that reason.

the University of California system is doin’ work.

More like, returning surveys.

How do you market yourself as an honest publication and put bullshit like that out? US News is the worst.

Tell me this is a joke.

I’d be very interested in a three-prong study and how correlated the three different segments are to one another.
1) youth and HS players who did not play in college
2) HS and college players who did not play youth
3) NFL players who started in youth

lots of people with depression though
