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

You're fast!

Public consumption I might be able to be swayed to allow.  But no way will I ever vote for the allowance of public intoxication.

I'd be fine with an amendment being written on that.

Friendly.

I'm still not convinced of why this is a good idea, and as of now, plan on voting NAY.  If anybody so chooses, I'm open to hearing why I should vote AYE.

When homeless people drinks, they get arrested, and later released. This is a complete waste of our time and resources, as arresting them doesn't really solve the problem. Now, if that drunken man decided to enter a building, he'd still be arrested under this law. A man drinking is not a risk to the public, so I see no reason in making it illegal.

That is soooo dangerously untrue. If that were the case, everyone would be allowed to drink.

I stand by my statement that a man drinking a beer is not a danger to the public. Now, if he were intoxicated, he would be, but that would still be banned under this bill, so there's no point even discussing that area.

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?

Yes, just look at the at the general safety of the Autobahnen

Exactly. Though I'm not sure how the fact that the Autobahn is one of the safest road systems in the world ties into this.
