Obviously! But it's not just about alcohol, but all the other pleasures like "good" food, smoking or drug use, first with legal drugs. But this should not be confused with mere medical advice based on the scientific work that goes with it, and that has no moralistic significance, since it leaves everyone with their own choices as to their own notion of small pleasures.Well, I think that many "specialists and decision-makers for others" neglect the influence of the JOY TO LIVE on the life ... joy of life spiked by small pleasures ... And they wilt themselves miserably!
The restrictions on these little pleasures and their systematic guilt do not go in the right direction!
There is no law, no constraint that would prevent everyone from taking his pleasures wherever he wants, that I know, so everyone is and remains free of his choice .. for now! Although when the law requires it is already the end of democracy and the beginning of totalitarianism!
Can we talk about youth suicide resulting from this society of guilt? Oh no, do not criticize the system!
This question is crucial! Is it the system that is the cause, or the model that everyone can show by his own behavior? [*] But if young and old, commit suicide is precisely because the model that this company offers (so we) do not satisfy them and that represents only a kind of escape. Cops kill themselves, farmers too, and so on.
[*] for the example: the parents forbid their children to lie to them, to smoke, to booze (the side do what I say, not what I do!) but these same adults often lie in the presence of their parents. children: how can these kids find a model to follow if not doing the same and become hypocrites too.
On the other hand if these children live the testimony that these parents refuse to lie and the rest in all circumstancesthey will assimilate values that they can reproduce without constraint or guilt. That's what will change society, not prohibitions, obligations and even less guilt.
