The game should have alcohol

[Roeshel]

I have news for you kiddo. Everything you eat, drink and breathe is bad for you. Tap water is full of metals, hormones, herbicides and chloramines. Fruit is covered in pesticides, fish is full of mercury, most packaged food/drink has BPA in it, most rice contains arsenic, everything has too much sugar in it and over time, your body accumulates so many toxins and heavy metals from just breathing and living in urban environments that most human carcasses would be refused entry to a landfill site on the grounds they're toxic waste.

Oh, and if you're lucky enough to be American, your food includes so much mould, insects and excrement, the US government literally mandates how much exactly is allowed before action needs to be taken.

In short, alcohol in moderation isn't really going to do much harm to anyone in the long run. If it makes you feel any better, Earth is due for its own Calamity in the next few years so I really wouldn't worry about minor vices now.

Environmental factors impacting your health negatively don't nullify the damage alcohol can do, things only add up. To me your post sounds like this: "I am already getting sick from so many things, why not get sicker in the one way I enjoy doing"

Here is the thing couldn't we say that excess sugar and animal product consumption also leads to increased all cause mortality compared to those that do not consume such things. Being born into a poor family has an increased all cause mortality and also leads to an increase dependency on governments aid which is in fact paid for through tax dollars.

Should we bar low income families from having children cause statistically they have poor outcomes in terms of health, mortality and economically.

No, we shouldn't. People can drink all they want. Just don't think that alcohol in moderation is not harmful. That's a lie. It will only lead to regrets. Embrace the fact that X type of lifestyle will most likely lead to you having Y type of health. Don't be like "ahh, w/e, everything is fine" until it is not fine and it's too late to make things the way you really want them to be.

Thing is I do not think anyone has said doing x vice has no consequence.

There's alcohol everywhere what are you talking about?
What we actually need now is smoking, Koh Rabntah has been in the game since 2.5 and they still won't give us her emote.

I have been requesting a smoking emote for ages so I agree 100% with your suggestion.

Some people did say that:

there is nothing wrong about alcohol when youre drinking in small portions

That first bit doesn't relate to what I said. The point was that so many foods and drinks contain things that make you ill, it's wrong to just single out alcohol.

As for just being plain unhealthy, the whole dessert industry would disappear if we only ate things with nutritional value. There is no need to eat cake, doughnuts or chocolate biscuits (which all lead to an unhealthy lifestyle), but I don't see you complaining such things are in the game.

If you do some research into the healthiest, longest lived people in the world, you'll find they're mostly from alcohol drinking nations. The Japanese for example are (or were) one such race.

Eating healthily, exercising and having national laws about limiting obesity meant that a race of sake and beer drinkers could claim the title of most centenarians in the world, whilst boasting one of the longest average life spans of any nation.

Sadly, the younger Japanese are ditching the healthy ways of their ancestors and eating more unhealthy Western food and doing less exercise etc.

You and I are enemies now.
