Right, but other than sports, where else do huge masses of alkies all happen to be in the same spot?
People act like they can't go anywhere or do anything without alcohol being available to overdose on. Sports? Alcohol. Restaurant? Alcohol. Fancy movie theater? Alcohol. Dinner party? Depends on the specific people involved, but fairly often, alcohol. Bowling alley? Alcohol.
Pretty much every social gathering that doesn't specifically include kids has alcohol around. Even if we could get everybody to upgrade to (the entirely superior in literally every single possible way-and it's not even close) cannabis, I wouldn't recommend it being literally everywhere.
In big crowds it really shouldn't be available at all. No context makes that a good idea.
Not sure why you're shitting on Europeans, either.
As a native American, its pretty clear exactly why everyone should hate on Europeans when it comes to alcohol.
I mean, I have no idea personally. Other than similar events to this. But I'm not sure what alcohol specifically has to do with native American oppression.
I just hate the fact that alcohol is popular at all. I've always maintained that the current legal status of weed and alcohol should be swapped.
Other than when it was unknown how to get clean water and using alcohol to make it more safe, I don't think alcohol should be consumed at all.
Not one drinker can give a good reason they can't just relax with a high instead of getting plastered. At least not outside of "but that's what I'm used to and I can't rise above being a creature of habit and improve anything about my life".
If humans just collectively forgot alcohol can be consumed, literally zero negative effects would happen. Combine with learning about cannabis consumption, and everything affected is neutral at the absolute worst in terms of comparison.
I wanna live in a world where we forgot drunk driving and drink rages were common events. I can go on a whole tangent rant about that tho.
