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.
Greetings from europe, I fucking love trains. Trains are the best. Would recommend trains every day.
Your country is the size of one of our large cities.
Which country and city are we talking about?
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.
Thankfully an actual grocery store is not too much further, but no - it would be nearly impossible to purchase enough food for a house of 5 on a bicycle. Having a car is a necessity.
The closest grocery store is, unfortunately both the most convenient, and the most expensive. If I were to travel 20-25 minutes by car, I could get to a cheaper grocery store. And I’m not in a particularly ‘rural’ area - there are places much worse than this. I even have symmetrical gigabit fiber, but barely a store nearby (unless you count a bar).
If I got any closer to the city, I wouldn’t have been able to afford a house.
Unfortunately it seems I’m somewhat of an enigma. I’m fairly left leaning, but live in the middle of people who are hard-right. I tend to have experiences which reflect rural life, and end up arguing with people who have never left the city. And it’s pretty clear why our founding fathers set up the nation the way they did; because it’s clear as fucking day that people in the cities have no clue what it’s like outside of them, and the reverse is true as well - many rural people not only don’t know about city life, but actively despise it (myself included).
I love not having a lot of people around me. I don’t have to deal with drug dealers, homeless people, and all the shit-stains littered around the city. I drive to work, and that little bit of time between work and home is the only solace I get to myself. I enjoy my car and not having to share it. If I could purchase a single-seat micro car, I’d jump alllll over that shit. Much unlike the folk I live around, who all drive 100k+ jacked up trucks.
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.
Wow. Just wow.
