My reasoning was that motorcycles normally can't kill car, and cars can often kill multiple other cars. But in terms of likelihood of crashing, or the likelihood of serious injury/death, sure? I'm not a motorcyclist, and I dont drive drunk, so I dunno...
It lessens it in the sense that he can make jokes about it.
I got a DUI, but its okay, I was in a barbie jeep. Lol.
That its posted here is proving my point, its been treated as a joke.
We are both sensible people, we know its serious, but others will just see it as a joke. I'd rather they charged him with something else. He's just as much a hazard if he was sober.
Shit like this just lowers the seriousness of DUI. DUI is bad because real cars (and lesser extent motorbikes) have enormous potential for carnage and death. A pink toy jeep does not.
Surely a public intoxication or nuisance charge exists that would better suit?
Chill out, I explicitly said that bars should be appropriately cutting people off. That would be long before they are drunk. If they can't do that, they lose their licencing and ability to sell alcohol.
Fortunately, drunks at home have never hurt themselves or their families. /s
I dont drink at all, so you can keep your assumptions about my social life to yourself.
And no one is talking about peer pressuring others to drink, where did you get that idea from?
No arguments there. My intent with the proposal was more centered around making alcohol consumption actually social. Balancing it against the obvious harms of alcohol is non-trivial.
Bars could be required to have cheap booze in order to keep their licences. But heinekin owning the establishment is a bit of a conflict of interest there.
If allowing problem drinking could cause the alcohol service licence to be revoked (therefore no more cheap booze), perhaps pubs would be incentivised to prevent problem drinking. Requires a working regulatory environment though.
Many governments are jacking up prices on alcohol, for the obvious health detriments. Instead of doing it across the board, they could make take home alcohol cost significantly more, but bar/pub/restaurant alcohol significantly cheaper, on the understanding that its a lot harder to problem drink in a public place with a bartender who will cut you off.
It would encourage moderated drinking in social places, discourage excessive home drinking. Doesnt completely solve the health issues though.
Probably could, but thats messy and out of reach for most of the general public. I'd consider myself capable, and I still haven't done it despite wanting to.
I'd settle for appliances providing a standardised port for control/monitoring, that you can plug in your own ESP32 controller. Harder to sell to the general public.
