1) If I want to accelerate my end voluntarily, that is my prerogative. 2) You have no evidence that drinking 8 beers in one sitting once a week will cause (1).

1) If I want to accelerate my end voluntarily, that is my prerogative. 2) You have no evidence that drinking 8 beers in one sitting once a week will cause (1). Send me lots of studies that link excessive alcohol consumption to esophageal cancer, I will send you lots of studies that show the opposite. 3) Not everyone drinks excessively and partakes in "risky and dangerous behaviors which endanger the public" (this is a ridiculous assumption you're making). I do not drink and drive. I live in a city where I can walk home. etc. 99% percent of the time I actually am at home with friends, even pre-covid. Quote frankly... I don't even binge drink that often, but I will defend anyone's right to do so, without judgement.

You will accelerate other people's ends as well, statistically, if you continue to get drunk. Drunkenness is related to so many car crashes, brawls, and other crimes. It's prevalence in society affects everyone else and you are selfishly doing it to the detriment of others. Real people do not work like "I only drink 8 beers in one sitting once a week every week". In reality, the fact that you binge drink at all, makes you more likely to binge drink when special occasions arise, and this is exactly the reason there's a huge uptick in drunk driving accidents and deaths every holiday on the calendar in countries with large drinking populations. Those people involved in those incidents probably also don't drink to excess every day but rather they drink to excess on occasion and on this occasion they went too far. Drinking and driving isn't the only dangerous behavior that alcohol consumption makes more likely, it impairs your decision-making skills, it is heavily linked to domestic and public violence, etc. Drunk driving happens not because people are idiots but because situations press on them until they have very few options and driving while a little intoxicated (what an intoxicated perceives as "a little" is a lot more than a normal person does) is one of the only options left. If you get put in that kind of situation, we all have to suffer for it, not you. Drunk drivers usually kill others and rarely die in crashes.
