Well, sometimes there's also social pressure, to 'just drink one beer'. My mum tells me that also used to be a thing for cigarettes. I feel like that died off, because people became aware of the health effects.

Cigarettes also used to be marketed as healthy. But in general - it's a really good skill to learn to deal with social pressure. But I feel like it's also better with the new generation - or at least inside the rather specific bubble I'm part of.
