The post is titled "9 reasons why there wasn’t stress in the good old days". Now, you better believe there was plenty of stress in the 19th and 20th centuries, but people were happy to try everything nature and medical science could provide to relieve it. That included cocaine, heroine, opium, amphetamines, and of course, plenty of alcohol for all ages. No prescription needed! The Benzadrine inhaler shown was handed out to airline passengers to treat discomfort. Link -via the Presurfer
I think William S Burroughs killed his wife while trying to shoot one of those Benzedrine inhalers off of her head.
