During COVID drinking percentages were a record high. But now they've slumped tremendously. On the other hand cocaine use is at record highs.

Black women openly using cocaine. Something I honestly NEVER heard of 15-20 years ago.

Hood black folks do too. It's made it's way through the trenches to the palaces. OVERLY.
