Ah yes, sure, Begriffsassoziativitätskombinatorik.

(Yes, I just made that word up. And also yes, it makes sense and might be the word describing what you were just thinking about.)

Germany.

I guess our pedestrian infrastructure is probably better than in most other places.
But we also like to walk a lot, so this might shift statistics again...

These statistics are regularily presented at company safety courses to get us to actually use the provided handrails. :-)

Depends. I like it, but it lures you into lazy naming of stuff, that being especially pronounced in state administration.
And written form is hell to comprehend for dyslexics...

It's missing an "e" at the end...

And yes, I heard the German language is supposed to be full of such special-purpose words (and if not, we construct fitting new ones by endless concatenation)
So I guess, I am the lucky one in this thread. :-)

Not sure it is completely silly.
You often see those labels beforehand and maybe think "Oh yeah, better organize something to get home or stay for the night."
And at least raises awareness about the negative effects of alcohol (there are several more warnings I have just learned from @LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net

You don't have to do it iteratively, just count the sum of the "out" votes from a single voting and the one with the least wins.
Still not a good system in my view, though...

I guess it would lead to politicians being even more sycophantic before elections to not exhibit any possible trait that could be seen as negative.
Not a good system, I think.

One a scale ranging from 1 to 10:
How high are you right now?

This actually sounds plausible.
We also have the cigarettes thing.
(But alcohol are standard warnings: pregnancy, age restrictions - no driving warnings interestingly)

What surprisingly is even less safe: Using stairs.
Statistics show e.g. using stairs to be about 3 times more deadly than traffic participation as a pedestrian in my country.
So it would actually make much more sense to print "Don't drink and use stairs" on the bottle. :-)

Be/get: interesting, I thought there to be a major difference (one describing a state already in, the other the process leading there).
.

I think it’s an alternative warning about a different danger

What bugs me for this interpretation, is that the warning about drunk driving would then be completely missing. That doesn't make sense somehow.
