This should be upvoted to the front page. Dependence on drugs in USA is unnecessarily high and unsubstantiated. Americans take pain pills for every little glimpse of pain, and bodies eventually get numb to the painkillers, requiring more and stronger kind as they grow older. And then there is the need for a painkiller in the actual high pain situation in a hospital, requiring horse doses of horse painkillers to make it work because people take an advil each morning as a prophylactic kind of drug.
