Totally agree with kowlo. FWIW, I see nothing particularly "boomer" in your description of yourself. > daily alcohol or drug consumption I don't think you know what some Boomers were like when they were young? A young Boomer would have been used to a heavy drinking and smoking culture. Eg, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-martini_lunch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-martini_lunch . Watch the old TV shows and see how much office drinking there was. Other popular drugs for young Boomers included methaqualone (Quaalude), methamphetamine, and of course LSD and marijuana. Steve Jobs, for example, used both LSD and marijuana. ("Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life.") Apple was full of young Boomers. And many drug users. Bill Atkinson in https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Joining_Apple_Computer https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&stor... writes: "Inspired by a mind-expanding LSD journey in 1985, I designed the HyperCard authoring system that enabled non-programmers to make their own interactive media." At the same time, there were people who didn't fit into that Boomer culture, like the story at https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Gobble_Gobble_Gobble.txt https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&stor... . (Though the interviewee may have been 'Greatest Generation.) (Of course, Jack Kerouac was also a 'Greatest Generation' member, and just take a look at "On the Road" to get a sense that broad generational characterizations like I just made are too simplistic.)
