A new study study shows a clear relationship between the availability of alcohol and violent crime. Dr Inaba shares his related experiences in San Franciso in the 70s with single-serving alcohol products. We go on to discuss alcohol is general, as a major public health issues, and the way our society tends to ignore that fact, because it is a legal drug. We also note reports of increased production of meth and synthetic drugs like the tranquilizer ketamine in the Golden Triangle, with Iran emerging as a central distribution point.
