Do you think the world would be better off or worst off without Alcohol?

[the_bob_delusion]

What say you?

[joz*garage]

well, it does do more harm than good

but in chemical or medical applications, it's a good thing

What say ye?

Why do you ask?

There seems to be a bias in your recent posts.

What do you think? Why don't you tell us?

Why do you ask a question that you know the answer to?

In that, the world will not get rid of alcohol, so the question is irrelevant.

I'll counterpost -

Do you think the world would be better off or worse [sic] off without chocolate?

"Drunkenness is nothing but voluntary madness". 

Seneca The Younger

“Chocolate symbolizes, as does no other food, luxury, comfort, sensuality, gratification, and love.”

Karl Petzke

So perhaps a tougher question is..

Do you think the world would be better off or worse off without Cadbury Old Gold Rum n Raisin Chocolate?

The problem with substance abuse, is that there is always another substance.

I eat Lindt, so I can't comment on Cadbury products.

No wonder that Seneca fella was so widely unpopular in his day.

Not necessarily. There's a time and place for it.

But I feel it's become over-promoted and way too readily available.

Taken in excess, it's destructive and debilitating.

I hated the way Dan Murphy's pushed alcohol for Father's Day this year. "Give Dad what he really wants".
