Quite literally you have missed out, yes. The question is: is that a problem? I generally don't suffer from FOMO, and any current science on alcohol (which the WHO basically classifies as hard drug, it's just one that's culturally accepted in many places) is pointing towards the safe dose being 0.
I unfortunately come from a culture where alcohol consumption is accepted, so it's been harder than I would like to break with tradition in the face of science, but doing so it a good thing, and if your cultural background helps you a hand because it does not accept alcohol as readily as mine, more power to you.
Drugs FOMO is some of the stupidest FOMO around. I've nothing against using soft drugs, but making any drug part of your life style is almost certainly a bad idea, and if never even trying suits your personality type (some are just more easily addicted than others), then you are wise for steering clear, not an ignorant traditionalist (or at least, not necessarily so).
That does not mean gathering in third places is problematic, I do wish we could come up with ways of doing it without the expectation of the consumption of alcohol.

- developer93 3y agoI don't think that takes away from their point
- cm2187 3y agoIt means you accept some risk if you get some utility. You can justify anything with a zero risk policy.
- vincnetas 3y agoBut we accept risk because of benefits a car moving faster than 0 brings. I might say same about some of psychedelic drugs. At least from my personal experience.

- gls2ro 3y agoNot true. You might be stopped in your car in the parking space but someone else might just crash into your car. So just being in the car on a public road or parking will be safer than driving but not safe as in zero chances of being involved in an accident. The same goes with alcohol even if you dont consume you are not completely safe from its effects: someone might drink and drive or drink and operate a machinery or drink and build your house … Probably the same can be said about tiredness or something else. We should pick our battles. I am not sure which ones are better. Just found it funny that even sitting in the car is not safe enough as long as we have vehicles
- WrongAssumption 3y agoNot sure how that’s a rebuttal, the scenario you described is a danger because the speed of the other car is not zero. It’s telling that the only scenario you found to make it dangerous was to bring another moving car into the equation.
