The Sullen Majority article mentions "drugs" as a "Western form of escape."

I'm sure the Chinese would have a word to say about that, given their experiences dealing with the opium trade. I doubt there are many things that cut across cultural boundaries more than escapism through drug abuse in one form or another.
