This seems to me a problem with an infantile culture, and not alcohol per se. The founder in the anecdote is obviously a person of poor judgment, unable to empathize, egotistical. This kind of enfant terrible is worshipped and celebrated by SV culture, given power, their fits and tantrums indulged and even encouraged as part of their mystique of genius, their disruptive zero-fucks-given. This problem runs deep; alcohol is only a smidgeon of it.
