    Alcoholism runs in my family so I’m good with my lifelong decision to never put poison in my mouth. I’ve never felt what it feels like to be inebriated but what it looks like to an outside observer is bad. Drunk people are unpredictable, scary, unreliable, scary, are a danger to themselves & others, they do things they wouldn’t do in their right minds, break laws, ruin friendships & family relationships & ruin their employment, and did I mention how fucking SCARY they are?

      if that’s your only perspective than you have no qualia and are a philosophical zombie

        look I love alcohol as much as you but don’t shit on this person’s valid observations. lack of experience in drunkenness doesn’t mean you can’t critique the poor decisions of those imbibing.
