If you wanna be cute I guess you can say caffeine. But, I’m really looking for what the average boomer would consider a drug. For me, its psilocybin mushrooms a few times a year. Weed here and there too

Sugar.
Can’t live with, can’t live without. Should be regulated.
Sugar isn’t a drug lol
I know it’s not by definition. However it’s effects are clearly measurably like drugs and it’s hellishly destructive.
Companies put it in almost everything to make things taste ‘better’, modifying our taste and needing more for the same effect.
There’s a lot of research, also the old sugar cartel and documentaries to look up on this and of course it’s also related to the obesity crisis. The focus has been moved from sugar to fat decades ago to get sugar out of the public spotlight.
Long story short, I would consider it a drug. We’re at the point with sugar we were with cigarettes in the 80s.
