  • What are you even talking about? The per capita death rates differ from what you’re posting (making up?) here. ​According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), the death rate from alcohol use disorders in Germany is 9.2 per 100,000 population, whereas in the United States, it is 14.3 per 100,000 population.​​ That’s a substantial difference. Are you a recovering alcoholic or lose someone to alcohol or something? It’s fine that you are against alcohol, but you’re making false comparisons and citing false data to do so.





  • To make it even more complicated, counties, of which states are composed, can also set the terms of alcohol use in their jurisdiction. There’s “dry” counties all around the US where alcohol cannot be legally purchased.

    And then there are counties where public consumption is fine and prostitution is legal. So… idk. It’s a big country. Montana, just one of the states, is larger than Germany, and it’s only the 4th largest state. The largest state is over four times bigger than Montana.


  • No one is saying kids require you to drink. The idea that having a glass of wine while playing games with kids and other adults is very puritanical of you. Do you come from a family of alcoholics or something? You’ll be shocked to know many people also have an alcoholic beverage at dinner and their kids are there! 🤯

    It’s rarely ever possible to fix something that is fundamentally and compositionally flawed. No one is arguing that it’s easier. They’re arguing that it’s necessary.

    Always looking for what’s easy instead of what’s necessary is part of how we got here in the first place.

    Gout is largely genetic. You can eat like shit and have all the gout-y foods you want if you’re not genetically predisposed to it. Your point still stands though. I don’t have first-hand experience thankfully, but being fat and out of shape, diabetic, etc., etc., etc., does not look fun.

    No offense to you of course, but it just looks miserable from the outside.

    You need to add salt as you cook. Yes, you can add it afterwards, but you don’t get the same flavor layering, food texture, salt penetration, and for some foods, the necessary chemical reactions in your dishes. In some sense, I feel confident that your wife is right based purely on the fact that you think you can just add salt after it’s cooked and get the same thing.
