Are you not just stating a truism, though?

  Not really. The rhetoric you get from a lot of people is "X is bad for me, X is therefor bad for everyone, everyone should stop, I don't understand why they don't" sometimes explicitly, sometimes with subtext. People are really quite unprepared for diversity in responses. Alcohol is terrible for some people, wonderful for others, somewhere in between for most.

    The author went out of her way to state several times that she’s writing about herself and not generalizing to everyone.
    • colechristensen 5y ago
      Many other commenters here and on every discussion about why X is bad do generalize to everyone.

      She does generalize to others though with quotes like, "I’ve never seen anyone improved by drink, ever" and "you can see it in people’s faces as they get older" I'm not sure if it counts if you say you're not generalizing but then do anyway.
