I have seen many great people, with intellect far greater than mine, become a complete embarrassment to themselves and their employer because of alcohol. I once worked with one fellow for a decade who was an an absolute gem in the office and they rarely drank, but would turn consistently turn into an obnoxious gremlin the moment they had more than two beers. I can't say this enough: alcohol is a poison to your health and soul.
- Brian_K_White 3y agoAbolition and puritanism have already been tried and do not produce a better result. Some of the worst abuses happen in the driest places, and this very article including the women themselves said the problem of attacking women and the problems from alcohol were two different problems. The problem with people abusing other people is people abusing other people. You feeling free to express this judgemental attitude about anyone else drinking or doing anything that isn't harming anyone else (you only have an assertion that it leads to harm, and not even the unavoidable form like with drunk driving), is an example of people abusing other people not unlike the rapist. The alcohol problem they are trying to address is only one of fine tuning, a gentle steering adjustment that hardly affects access to alcohol at all.
