MA: Freedom to Consume Alchol in Public Bill (Debating)

The mere state of intoxication shouldn't necessarily be a problem either.

Until they endager those around them with amplified emotions and rash action. This isn't even a party we're talking about or some sort of gathering. This is drinking on a light rail where there are others to think of.

Then those that threaten someone should be punished for that, but that's not a reason to limit everyone's freedom.

It's funny, but I don't hear about too many drunk people falling onto the rails or being pushed onto them in Germany...

Is Atlasia/America that bad at handling alcohol?

[Franzl]

They don't drink an drive, they don't eat and drive, they don't talk on their phones and drive (well I can't speak for EVERY person)

I wouldn't generalize that much.....there are plenty of DUI cases over here (limit is .05 BAC). And I admit I talk on the phone while driving often enough....(would be a 40€ fine).

But I wasn't saying Americans were less responsible....it was more of a question. I can't really imagine Americans are that different that it would create a huge problem. Maybe I'm wrong though, and it's a cultural thing that only works if it's always been that way.
