As a psychotherapist (and the grandson and son of an alcoholic) one way I try to educate those who are drinking too much is to educate them on what's going on in the brain. Alcohol is dually reinforcing because it can both activate the brain’s reward processing system that mediates pleasure and reduce the activity of the brain’s systems that mediate negative emotional states such as stress, anxiety, and emotional pain.
Sometimes, if a person can come to understand that the effects of ETOH on the brain affects the brain as a disease, that will lead them into getting help. To get folks to confront their usage, you gotta try every tool in the box . . .

I think these were the same people loading 8' 2x2 crossways thru the back windows and dented my fender last year at Lowes!
I always get a laugh when I go to Costco and watch someone trying to get their newly purchased 65" TV into their Toyota Camry . . .

I always wanted to make music. But one thing just kept getting in the way.
A complete lack of talent.
I do play two instruments: CD player and the car radio . . .

Did Bill Anderson have a hand in this, or was it just coincidence?
Yes, he did. He objected when the song name was used but later bought into the company and for a time was a spokesman. Later, the Krystal Company bought Po Folks, but with the rise of Cracker Barrel, Po Folks went under.
My mother was the Executive Assistant to the Krystal CEO and bought $5000 of Po Folks stock and lost everything when the company failed. Because Mom worked for the CEO she sent me bunches of free meal cards and I was living in Siler City, NC at the time. I'd drive to the Greensboro Po Folks and chow down for free!
Those were the days!

I can cook a perfect steak and pork chops in an air fryer. The trick is to cook by constantly checking the temperature and not cooking by recipe time.

For those of us old enough to remember the TV show "Combat" will remember that Shecky Greene was on the first season but left the show. This is why:

Way back in high school, a neighbor of mine got fed up with this. His solution was to make one in shop class out of 1/4” steel. I hauled it home for him. We had to unload it and set it in place with a tractor and front end loader.
Thirty something years later, that box has many paint colors on it, but still stands.
I have considered doing something similar. I’d need to broke a post hole auger for the tractor. No way I’m hand digging a hole that deep!
I had a friend who kept losing mailboxes to bad drivers as he lived on a corner. I helped him weld iron rods and some railroad iron which he covered with bricks. The next car that hit it was totaled . . .
