Its a really good book.
But as I said, we have to look to curb the 'driving' part. The drinking isn't going anywhere. |
Humans have been doing all kinds of ####ty things since the dawn of time. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try to suppress and discourage those behaviours.
Not that having a drink is a ####ty behaviour per se, but making a habit of getting #### face drunk is something that we should frown upon as a society. We currently don't.
Two things I'd very much suggest is raising taxes on booze and other rec drugs, and banning advertising of such things (just like we ban advertising tobacco).
