    Is alcohol scheduled? Is it regulated? I feel like morons are making excuses for control because it’s got stigma. You know the real reason weed is a schedule 1?

      Mostly racism towards Mexicans plus fear that the hemp industry would bankrupt some old rich families.

      I’d love for alcohol to be scheduled too. Make 'em all Schedule V. I’m tired of seeing “First DUI” cases get slaps on the wrist and a driving course.

        Public education, impound, and jail time for DUI have had the most impact. You don’t need to schedule alcohol to do that. And you don’t need the age 21 drinking law.

        Take your prohibitionist bullshit and shove it puritan. Wanna lower DUIs then advocate for expansions to public transit.

            Aw did a strike a nerve puritan, sorry to break it to ya but im one of my clean kinsmen fun thing about extreme genetic drug resistance ya dont feel shit to it. Alcohol taste like shit as well, closest I get is sweet cider.

            I just aint into telling folks what to do, so long as it aint too damaging to other folks. Plus im bound to the bloodlust of mine kin not the alcoholism of mine ancestors. Regardless what you see as a moral failure I see as what is folks enjoying themselves. Sure it can be self destructive but whomst am I to judge I enjoy fighting to a utterly unhealthy degree.

            So in summary can ya go feed thineself to a Joshua Tree theys gettin’ hungry.

              Europe is a far more dense place than America. Public transit makes sense there. The EU has an average density of 112 people per square km compared to 36 in the USA.

                It gets even better: I can just walk to the grocery store and ride my bicycle to work.

                Do the US really build neighbourhoods without stores in walking distance?

                  The closest store to me is 5 miles away. And even then, it’s a gas station, not a full-on store.

                    Fascinating, is this a rural area? How far away is your usual destination for groceries? Can you buy groceries, when you are unable to operate a vehicle?

                    5 miles is within cycling range for me, but it is somewhat longer than my way to work.

            You’re weak, and you need substances to abuse in order to continue on your pathetic existence.

            There are plenty of reasons to drink a beer other than not having the “steel to handle the real world” on your own.

            For instance, having to deal with annoying pricks like yourself.
