To a meth head, coke addict drug dealer maybe Jr. sees 2 to 3 drinks as nothing to write home about.
People are only half of the problem. The other half are industries which profit greatly from heavy drinking. What if bars (or restaurants) had 2 drink limits if you didn’t walk, take public transport or arrive in an Uber/Lyft? We want to penalize people but we enable their behavior. We tell them that it’s illegal to get in a car and drive drunk. We also allow establishments to sell the same people quantities of alcohol that get them drunk. I’m not saying the driver is not to blame but we don’t exactly put them in a position to succeed.
That sounds like a great way to absolutely ruin society.
I think people are way more than half the problem. Your proposal would put restaurants in the position of policing how each person arrived, how they plan to leave, are they the driver, how many drinks has each person in a group had etc.... They already have the burden of not serving someone that is clearly drunk and I'm not sure we should demand much more from them. I would not shift the accountability away from the individual to this extent. They have plenty of opportunity to succeed by making responsible decisions.
Less alcohol = ruined society. Chew on that take for a moment.
Might have something to do with a serious coaching career, he was never around to help them grow up. Choices...
If you don't understand the real world ramifications of what you said it's on you.
Sorry I don’t think alcohol makes the world go round. And that’s coming from a guy who enjoys his beer.
personal responsibility and holding people accountable could go a long way to making the world go round. i'm not feeling the server-policed two-drink limit thing.
Gov't is already too big a part of our lives. Do you know what that would do to businesses if they were forced to police a 2 drink minimum at every single restaurant, bar, event etc. in the country?
Well a two drink minimum would probably increase profits quite a bit, I’m sure they’d find a way to enforce it.
why don’t people take responsibility for their own action? in your world the actor responsible is a footnote in the last sentence as also responsible. Put The blame where it belongs. On the person drinking.
Why stop there? Should we get rid of everything in the world that could theoretically cause harm to people when used incorrectly? No more sharp objects, hot surfaces, and cars?
We should probably go back to prohibition, get rid of pharmaceuticals, weed, and teenage drivers while we're at it.
Silly hyperbole and sensationalization, but par for the course from you.
They're okay but not ready for prime time in many scenarios. Great for highway driving and parking. Not yet great for city driving. They also prompt you to maintain both hands on the wheel and still pay attention. But in my initial drive with a friend in his Tesla, drunk driving assistance was the first thing I thought of.
