Singapore is largely homogeneous, is wealthy (for the area) with an average income of $9200 USD, has excellent health care that covers all citizens, is a geographically small nation state, has extremely low unemployment (even now, at 4.38%) and has a small population (5.7 million). You don't need to do drugs if everything in your life is going well. I saw this with my best friend during his divorce. We spent a lot of time together, often I'd go see him everyday after he got off work. Some days he'd drink two bottles of wine and a six pack. Now his divorce has been finalized for several months, he rarely drinks. Turns out when your life isn't in shambles, you don't need a chemical means to cope.
