took them a 100 years to realize you don't need prohibition to make cities dry. Just make everything soo expensive that no one can buy the shit.

@ooignignoktoo I don't love alcohol and only periodically drink it but people en masse stopping drinking alcohol, which seems kind of like, unprecedented, is worrying. in the past if people couldn't get alcohol they would make it

@ElDeadKennedy @sun I'm not a heavy drinker but I do like a bottle every now and then but it takes me about a month to finish a 750ml bottle. I like a good buzz every now and then from it but I got no enjoyment of getting blackout drunk or anything.

@sun Bath tub moonshine is a tradition time immemorial. I still wouldn't trust drinking it though out of fear it'd make me go blind.

They are hopped up on 50 other meds that interact with alcohol so they can't even feel it.

@mischievoustomato @skylar @ooignignoktoo @sun last year I bought some cheap white muscatel wine but not for drinking, only for baking pastries. I did drink some of it during summer, very refreshing

@ElDeadKennedy @skylar @ooignignoktoo @sun naisu. Me and mom drink rosé wine sometimes, rarely though. At my nephew's baptism ceremony dinner thing we did have to choose alcoholic drinks and mine was pretty good.

@wertimer @ooignignoktoo @sun It's also substitution effects, there's a lot more options than recreational alcohol.
If you drink for an altered state, there's a lot more state-altering drinks around. If you drink with food, there's hundreds more flavor options. If you drink to distract yourself, our economy is entirely circuses and distractions now. And social drinkers aren't as social any more, their consumption is replaced by screen time.

@wertimer @PunishedD @sun
last time I drank was my brother bought me a bottle for my b-day over a month ago. I still have a couple shots left of the bottle. I see the price at the store and it deters me from drinking. If they want people drinking more maybe they should lower the price. Or maybe CEO's should tell their (((shareholders))) that they don't know dick and to frig off.

@ooignignoktoo @PunishedD @sun I don't mind the price tbh, I'm a lightweight. I just stopped liking the feeling of being drunk

Just more knock-on effects of the bad stuff we already knew was happening.

@mischievoustomato @skylar @ElDeadKennedy @ooignignoktoo @sun it's inferred these derive from climate, eg most places that can grow grapes reasonable well go for wine. I think states would be interesting though. and despite this beer is heavily consumed everywhere in the world.

@sun @ooignignoktoo We stopped drinking alcohol because there are much better drugs available

@sun @ooignignoktoo Just speaking personally I generally don't see the point in drinking when weed, opioids, ketamine, mdma, and psychedelics have better highs with fewer side effects

@sun @ooignignoktoo in the past people were bored out of their minds and needed something to shut off their brain for sigificant chunks of their life
now we have handheld supercomputers that can keep us busy
that said this is *definitely* related to the "guys not having sex/staying virgins later" problem. Women *do* put out more when you get buzzed.
