Good for them. I was visiting Dublin this past summer. One early morning, I stumbled across a guy having alcohol withdrawal seizures (according to his friend that didn't have a phone, so I called 112 for them). Later that day, I watched a guy pass out drunk in the road. Construction workers came from a nearby site and placed cones around him so he wouldn't get run over.
Maybe my experience was abnormal, but it was shocking.
- hydrok9 3y agoNot abnormal at all...(was there April/23)
- version_five 3y agoDo you belive a warning label would have helped those people?
- unethical_ban 3y agoDo you believe it is more harm than good to require verifiable warnings on dangerous products?
- arnoooooo 3y agoLabels will have a nocebo effect, so that's not unreasonable. They're also guilt inducing.
- unethical_ban 3y ago>They're also guilt inducing That sounds like a personal problem. Informed consumers are the basis of rational market behavior. Even libertarians tend to be on board with objective informational requirements and disclosures.

- deserialized 3y agoI remember warning labels tearing my childhood friends family apart. His dad would come home late at night after reading too many labels and beat his wife while my friend hid in his room. Labels are definitely more harmful
- arp242 3y ago> Maybe my experience was abnormal Not really; in my time in Ireland I've seen more of this kind off stuff than all the rest of my life combined. I also know more Irish teetotallers than of any other nationality, which probably isn't a coincidence either.
