Well

hm

It's a mixed bag

On one hand, it has been the fuel of 2000 years of men

And on the other, 100% degenerate

Negative overall effect, alcohol is unnecessary and only a commodity.

*says while drinking a coors light*

can we have a new question?

this one is gay

Actually alcohol was very important back in ye olden days

Water used to be polluted to high hell

@Da_Fish can we have a question about terrorism and insurgency tomorrow

It was safer for children even to drink booze instead of water

But during for example the Middle Ages serfs needed the carbs of beer to stay productive.

@Commissar Femto what question?

hm

"is insuregency and terrorism valid to use" or something

when it was considered only a social or ritualistic drink then it was rathe rpositive, it was also considered medicinal. However it has become laicizised? so taken away the mystical element and its a regular part of life, as a result its has gone to abuse since its significance has been reduced to basically water, which that even has more of a ritual sense to it than alcohol

water was usually boiled

or taken from "safe" sources

no one could run on alcohol constantly, everyone would die at 30 and be too retarded to work the land.

it has to take a ritualistic or mdicinal quality to it again, otherwise its gonna simply continue to be abused

Why ritualistic?

because rituals command respect, add a spiritual level and make the substance in essence part of the ethereal. To abuse it is essentially to attempt to cheat spirituality or what is socially acceptable in meetings etc. Generally this means people will most likely externally generate pressure to obey the unwritten spiritual moral laws

altenratively some countries legit need prohibition to reduce alcoholism

and liver cirhossis

Ah

So the ritual aspect keeps it from being abused or at least deters abuse of it.

yes

I don’t think alcohol corrupts people besides major alcoholics#

the question's too simplistic - modernity has had a negative effect and that's what makes alcohol abuse so pervasive, alcohol in small amounts, particularly red wine for males, has positive/neutral effects on one's health

more "trad" autism

the past was very moral
