But did you know the idea of “designated drivers” is only normal in America thanks to the work of a group of Harvard scholars?

Here’s 5 reasons they succeeded.

Kurt Cobain died 29 years ago today.

He suffered chronic pain. Wrote in his journal that he chose drugs instead of ending his own life.

Buprenorphine worked for him, as it does for many today.

But it was illegal then. When his physician died in 93 he was caught off.

RIP Kurdt
