Yeah fine, I get it. But why is it always “drinking alcohol” as if it’s a matter of consuming the substance pure, straight into the vein.
There’s plenty of different beverages of varying tastes, intoxication — if any — curves, complementary sugars and carbs.
Just observing how this language is strongly biased.
- bdcravens 3y agoWhy would someone take issue with another person's decision, as if it's a personal attack? I often see discussions around alcohol painted in this light.
- eecc 3y agoWell, of course I don't take issue with the parent's choice. I just note this reductionism about "alcohol" as if quality ciders, lambics, barley wines, ales, wines, reds, whites, bubbles, distilled grappas... I can't even come up with all the different variations... are all the same substance. I find a hint of patronizing zeal in this; I might be just defensive though, I did -- and still do -- get moralized for my sinful behaviors.
