The Problem With Alcohol

[Techocracy101010]

If booze and porn is all there is to live for, maybe you need a therapist. There's a lot more to life than alcohol.

I like long walks in the sun, but a tallboy makes them better. Could I do with walks without beer and still enjoy them? Absolutely. But then I'm just going to be dealing with some other person who thinks they know what's best for me, whining that I'm going to give myself skin cancer.

Look i just want to stop being put into weird invented socioeconomic situations of increasing absurdity. Yes sir we will kill you over a plant a beer fucking porn all to keep me safe. Yes i am much safer hitting room temp after being shot over a naturally growing plant yeasty boys and porn.Also like tots wont cause me to feel more under represented

The Paradox of Tolerance. An unconditionally tolerant society collapses in on itself because it tolerates forces that seek to end that tolerance. A genuinely tolerant society, therefore, should be deeply intolerant of things like religious moral codes whose primary purpose is the subjugation of human individuality to arbitrary tradition.

There can be no compromise, no permanent peace between people who want to organise society rationally on the basis of real human lives and people who want to organise society based on what their magical sky father whispered to a bunch of middle-aged men centuries ago. There is no genuine middle ground between those who seek to repress and those who decline to be repressed.

my issue is folks taking away without giving for spurious bs reasons or their feelings . like should i feel good about bring poor? Should i feel good about having a shit childhood? Should i feel good about having a shit future ahead of me? Why am i expected to be happy? And if someone takes away something that makes me happy and wants to send me to a shrink so i fit their idea of good im not gona be happy

As I keep telling the religious folks in this thread, we do not want to feel better about our lives. We want our lives to be better.

We want to have things that we enjoy, and right now the main force trying to separate us from those things is people like Floofybit, like Luminesa, like Fahran. And I don't think it's a coincidence that all of these people lean traditionalist-religious.

If they’re content to simply disapprove based upon their fairy tales and superstitions, that’s one thing, but they wish to guide public policy and legislation based upon such things and govern my life according to that. That’s a dealbreaker, my friend.

With more surveillance it could work a tad better

How about you keep your damn surveillance state out of my house or I'll shove those cameras where the sun don't shine? Deal?

Deal. Why don't you shove those cameras there? Alleyways and backstore closets will be much safer

Hot cocoa, mini marshmallows and a shot of Chambourd are pretty delicious. Just saying. IF you're of age, of course.

Without the shot, the hot cocoa and marshmallows sure hit different

It's strange to see people speaking with confidence about things that they clearly don't know anything about.

Like when people who don't drink talk about how alcohol-free drinks "hit different." Or when they insist that a territory with hundreds of thousands of people living on it no longer exists.

It's not the alcohol free version. It's just hot chocolate. Who doesn't love hot chocolate?

Why must you police us ? Why ? What gives you the right to decide what we can and cannot do what gives your ideology mandate . I like my booze i like my porn i like my racetams i like my sarms, i like my caffeine. Life fucking sucks stop trying to make it suck even more by removing the only fun parts . Don’t like booze or drugs don't do them simple as that . You can leave us alone . look life fucking sucks ass it sucks ass hard getting drunk every few times takes the damn edge off and lets me at least forget about my shit life before i fall asleep to repeat the same shit another day . This won’t bring me closer to god this won’t save my soul it will only piss me off to the point that i would join a gang to get the shit and engage any law enforcement trying to take my booze in a gun fight.

Yes there is money

Lol. But at least money can buy you nice things. Like fruit and stuffed animals

And fruit can be fermented

I believe they do this in Norway, you can only buy a certain amount of alcoholic beverages one day of the week.

But hot chocolate, while great, is even better with Irish Cream.

Yes my point stands i live in a world where moral busy bodies run the atf and dea and they kill people over fucking plants and untaxed booze. Shit we arrested folks for normal porn till the 70s. I just think its a dumb way to run a country .

Addiction to alcohol is a problem. Drinking alcohol every once in a while is not. There is a big difference between the two.

I cannot say I have a good solution of my own, but I can say that outright banning it is not going to help. We already tried that, and it seriously did not work. The trick is that the law does not decide what people do. People decide what people do. This applies to a lot of issues, but basically it is better to convince people not to drink first and then ban it, when enough people agree that the ban won't be completely ignored like in Prohibition. If that's what you want to do anyway.

Note that I personally do not drink, but I believe in others' right to do so in moderation.

The government doesn't control culture. I'd say it's the other way around. Movements and ideas need to find agreement with enough people in order to get anywhere. Remember: The people who are supposed to enforce such a ban are also people, no matter how many of them you hire.

Yes, legislation comes from a place of public sentiment and momentum, and very often, hysteria that leads to bad public policy, such as Prohibition and the Mann Act. Yet, sometimes, the government arrogates to itself power to ban things without any public momentum behind it, and then marshals or attempts to marshal public opinion in favor of the ban afterward. The Drug War is a clear case of this. There was no public push for a marijuana ban, for instance, but we got one, anyway.

Right, so, let us just tick off all statutes inspired by fundamental moral premise like murder, theft, and rape until we are left only with tax and traffic law, where again, we can probably still establish instinctual pre-Hammurabi influence for some of those as well.

While I don't know the mormon view of consuming miniscule (like, impossible to get drunk on) amounts of alcohol, you could outright buy a bottle of chambord, lightly boil the alcohol out, and you've got a very unique flavour infusion for a lot of things.

Definitely trying this out.

Alcohol is a staple of tradition and meals across the world, banning it would not only deal a blow to a major industry, but also cause alot of unrest and bootlegging, even with an advanced police force, the will of the people is stronger. Alcohol should remain legal, maybe up the drinking age minimums to stop young deaths, but from then on its your own damn fault if you die to alcohol
