Another thing that sticks out for me is alcohol. I'm not teetotal, I just drink extremely infrequently. Since starting to drink less, it's quite noticeable how much media relates to alcohol use (and abuse). Birthday cards are especially fond of alcohol references, but also media where what looks like alcohol-dependent behaviours are played for laughs. I an fortunate not to be an alcoholic and don't have one in close family: it much be quite hard to deal with it if it were a trigger.
