First of all, how am I saying that harm has no brain? I never said that or implied it. Remotely.
Second of all, since when did drinking ever become a priority in anyone's life except an alcoholics? Drinking isn't strange, or abnormal. Younger teenagers in Europe have wine occasionally, so what's so wrong with have a beer or two? As long as you have control over it it's actually a good thing, it teaches you to manage yourself with alcohol for when you become an adult.
1) You said that he doesn't think in the form of a rhetorical question.
2) I agree with you on that. Outside of American cultures, there's a lot more focus on social drinking. However, cultures in Europe are far more unified than in America, and the reason why underage drinking, amongst many, many other things will not work is because of America's diverse culture combined with the major consensus of America not wanting to become more progressive and leap headlong into the 21
st Century. The culture is trying to do this, but social norms will not accept it, and therefore, the culture is divided, harms itself, and makes the newer form look bad. Probably just me billowing nonsense, but it made sense to me. PM me if you would like me to explain further.
