That’s what’s called “Anecdotal Evidence,” which has no validity in Science.
It’s also called Wishful Thinking, which also simply doesn’t do Science.
However, the science of the destruction that addictive levels of both smoking & drinking - ESP for 36 Years plus - which no signs of stopping perhaps ever - have upon the human brain are quite well documented.
That’s really where you wait to be researching for Facts, not “My Own Personal Experience = Reality” levels of Denial.

Reply to On Facebook, Visual Misinfo Widespread. In the runup to the 2020 U.S. Presidential election visual misinformation was widespread across the platform, and that it was highly asymmetric across party lines, with right-leaning images five to eight times more likely to be misleading. by Wagamaga
Since most find it challenging to really feel what “Five to Eight times More Misleading” actually means, I find it helpful to use percentages instead:
“Right-leaning images were 500 - 800% more likely than Left-leaning images to be Misleading.”
