Alcohol Thread

[HellHound]

Most vehicular accidents involve texting and alcohol, let's ban texting and alcohol.
Most vehicular accidents involve vehicles, let's ban those too.
Most vehicular accidents involve being on a road with other people, let's ban roads and people from being by eachother.
Most personal incidents that result in injury involve falling over, let's ban gravity!
Most gravity related incidents involve the end of the universe, let's ban the end of the universe!
The end of the universe is predicted by science, oop, that has to go too!

it would be different if you didn't do it constantly

You follow me and have to rip on me with every other post I make and I don't make a huge deal over it.

Besides I hardly brag saying its a good state other than when I talk about some of its laws at a appropriate time.

Eliminating an unnecessary function is appropriate.  When it's necessary to life, it isn't.  Try harder.

I was agreeing with you :/

I know.  I was just pointing out that I also posted a similar message and that I've heard "4 beers = texting while driving".  At least that's what Drake Bell said on a "don't drive intexticated" advertisement on Channel One so I can't be sure if that's true, and four beers isn't the same for all persons due to weight and etc. factors.

Texting and driving is absolutely terrible, and, in turn, while it is worse for a driver, texting ALONE is not as bad as drinking ALONE.

The effects of alcohol don't only relate to driving.  Do more research.

4th leading cause in death, not behind texting while driving.

Instead of presenting an entire argument based on nitpicked truth, you should do a bit more reading next time.

Okay, so you're never going to text in your life right?  You're not going to drink in your whole life because you want to avoid driving.

There's no arguing that drinking while driving is bad because it is, but again, you keep putting off a message that drinking will 100% absolutely lead to drinking and driving or anything that will cause harm to the user when it won't.

You aren't reading.  You're so stuck up with your traumatic past that you absolutely refuse to open and look at anyone else's perspective other than your own.  I've seen my mother and father drunk multiple times and it was rather scary, granted not as scary as your own experience but it is still pretty awful.  Even so I still have consumed alcohol.

Don't even dare type "you're not reading".  I am reading your posts very clearly and replying to them as they are written.

That is true.
If you're a bigger person you can have a case and still be sober (my uncle)
Or if your a small person than half a can will make you drunk (my sister)

[Slammer1337]

I think your entire family needs to go to rehab.

Yeah, exactly.  I think that phrase isn't really accurate to say due this, as varying weight will allow for greater or lesser alcoholic ability.

I think you're right.

Yeah, exactly.  I think that phrase isn't really accurate to say due this, as varying weight will allow for greater or lesser alcoholic ability.

Exactly, and because of that anything that says "X beers = X" is automatically invaled unless you have a chart like
X pounds = X beers until drunk

[VincentTheGuy]

That kind of attitude is not gonna get you to win this arguement.
Especially with Lalam.

This is why he is cool.

No, but statistically speaking, it does cause harm.  It's a fact that it's the.. oh, what is it?  4th most life threatening action promoting by human beings?

Only I just did, I displayed an argument that counteracted yours entirely.  You informed me of a similarly harmful action, which didn't, in any way, benefit your argument.  Stating that texting while driving is worse than drinking while driving doesn't mean that drinking alone is more harmful.  Did I ever say I was arguing the effects of drinking while driving exclusively?  No.  I don't know why you're playing under that assumption, though.

how many people who weren't alcoholics died from alcohol consumption?

[Lalam24]

I don't have the exact number, but considering it's the 4th leading cause of death in the US, to put it delicately, a lot.

[HellHound]

Car accidents are also leading causes of death in the US.
Should we ban those too?

[Kumquat]

I'd probably pass out from even touching any alcohol.

I'm arguing the significance of a single luxury.  Why do you keep mentioning a form of transport which is considerably dangerous under the wrong form of influence?  Quit avoiding the real argument, please.
