Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

How do you mean irresponsible? If my reminding people alcohol is a drug and they reduce their use of it they will live a better life potentially.
I abused alcohol and other drugs throughout my life and found alcohol to be the most harmful and potentially dangerous of them all.

I think there is a similarity in the business models of said distributor's actions and illegal dealers staking out their turf. Making that comparison would not be irresponsible, IMO.

That was my first thought, but I try to give the benefit of the doubt. Even to people who don't have a clue. He jumped in and basically took a thread in a beer forum that was interesting and decided to put down members of the site by calling them drug addicts. It's both idiotic and irresponsible.

Eh, I assumed you think we are all addicts since you compared beer to heroin.

Why don't you start a new thread about the dangers of alcohol since you're so passionate about it? The original post is a good read and interesting. There was no need to take it in the direction you took it.
