What about recovering alcoholics, people who avoid alcohol for religious reasons, and people under the drinking age ?
There are clearly groups who don't or can't go to events because alcohol plays a prominent part (i.e other people drinking impacts them).
There's obviously trade-offs between different groups of participants, but they need to be made consciously with awareness of the consequences rather than because they're the default.
- Kudos 13y agoThere are also a bunch people, like me, who can't (or shouldn't) drink because of medical conditions. At the same time though, it doesn't bother me when people are drinking in moderation and not set on getting hammered.

- Anderkent 13y agoIs he? He presents pics with a couple cases of beers as if twas evidence of getting hammered. There was alcohol on the couple conferences I've been to, sure. Everyone had a beer or two. It facilities relaxed discussions, makes brain storming much easier. I haven't seen anyone get drunk.
