I took drinking to it’s logical conclusion, and I can say this, it’s worthless and would be made illegal if it were first discovered today. As a drug, it has too many harmful side effects. It’s addictive, causes harm to your health, and can kill you. Many illegal drugs are substantially less harmful, and they were banned for substantially less :francis:

Speaking of which, the licensing body sent a minor in last week and the minor was served, we have been shut down for 90 days. They also hit us with over serving...:wow: My partner fired 90% of our staff.

legit question, do you believe in the idea of minimum age limits on alcohol?
i think it should be 19, not 18

making it 19 reasonably keeps it out of the hands of high schoolers, so you dont have a bunch of kids turning 18 in the spring and supplying high school parties. but the fact that 19 and 20 year olds cant drink is a farce, especially with the explosion of uber

Maybe the purchasing laws should be 18/19 but they should be legally allowed to drink at any time. The reason Europe gets it mostly right is because, for example, they give their 13 year old a glass of wine with their dinner. They take away the intrigue and the rebellion factors and normalize alcohol consumption in moderation. If kids around here were introduced at an early age and shown that alcohol can be a complement to a meal rather than a means to black out, it would have a hugely positive influence.

Alcohol is one of the most destructive drugs that exist - far worse than at least several that are illegal - and yet remains acceptable while people are arrested & jailed for more benign substances.
