Dude has a point though. In cinemas in the Netherlands you can just buy big ass beer bottles anyway so what's the bfd
Having a large beer vs getting very drunk on liquor is quite different, no?
Not when you're a lightweight like me!
That last sentence. What the fuck.
Is this your first day on the internet or something
I agree with the parent. Alcohol shouldn't be normalized as other drugs and the anon is probably an alcoholic -- who else drinks in a cinema on a Disney movie?
Alcohol is as normal as it gets, buddy.
Alcohol is one of the most destructive narcotics. Read ANY scientific paper on this.
And yet it's the most common and socially accepted drug other than maybe caffiene?
Alcohol is very normal
That's the problem -- it is popular and considered "normal" because of historical reasons. Science says completely otherwise. Sometimes common sense is wrong. Science is wrong very rarely and if so, corrects itself after some time. Read abstract of any article about alkcohol, e.g., from The Lancet journal.
Science says completely otherwise
The only science relevant to if something is "normal" in this context are the social sciences, which would very much not say otherwise
Human consumption of alcohol is older than society, it's very normal and natural for humans to drink. We're not even the only animal aware of alcohol and it's effects
The only science relevant to if something is “normal” in this context are the social sciences, which would very much not say otherwise
Well, only if you disregard your health completely. And speaking about social issues:
"Even moderate drinking by parents can leave children feeling embarrassed or worried or lead to their bedtime being disrupted, according to the study led by the Institute of Alcohol Studies (IAS). "
Alcohol cannot be defended from any position, just as cigarettes, even if fortunes are spent by alcoholic and tabacco corporations to "warm" their picture.
Whatever you say, square.
Im just gonna hope theres different world cultures clashing here because doing this in the US or Canada WOULD be a dick move. Drinking in ANY theater if it wasnt catered to that is rude enough as it is here, but doing at a kids movie is particularly egregious .
Edit: Lmao, right, I'm on greentext, that explains a lot
What? Why is it an issue to drink anywhere so long as you're keeping yourself to yourself and not causing an issue? America, land of the free....
Well it is literally illegal most places, although most people don't care enough to enforce that rigidly.
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
