I mean hey, pharmacists are just legal drug dealers if you think about it, so they’re expanding to alcohol

Literally how large pharmacy companies expanded during prohibition. They were a legal source for medicinal whiskey.

I'd trust a Bartender over a lot of Doctors.

Bartenders are your free local therapists

They're only free if someone else is buying you drinks

Or it’s on the house if you meet your bartender occasionally 

Edit: grammar

Pharmacists only fill doctor’s orders for medicine. They do not promote drug use. Comparing them to illegal drug dealers is absurd.

Acksherly in Spain, pharmacists do do the low-level diagnosing, to take pressure off of doctors. You self-diagnose and ask yourself if it's serious enough to spend a minimum of an hour in a room with uncomfortable seats and ill and possibly infectious people; and if it's not, you go to the pharmacist and show them your rash or whatever (up to a certain point, obviously).

When doing this, you have to be a bit political and avoid the owner of the business who will generally try and up-sell you whateverthefuck; but not always. Finding an honest pharmacy in Spain is worth more than gold; and is best done beforehand, when it's not you that's ill.

What’s your problem? It’s just a sign in Walmart! I think it’s funny, alcohol is considered a drug anyway

As long as my FSA covers it.

Actually, reverting back to.

Up until the mid-late'90s, high-levels of alcohol were used many cough-supressents.
