Thank fucking god
Lemmings in shambles.
He says on the "I hate Reddit" forum.
in my experience, culturally, drinking one (1) 4.8% ABV 33ml can of beer in Europe is drunk driving
Drinking two (2) 6.2% ABV fl oz (946ml total) glasses of beer and smoking weed in the USA is not drunk driving.
Not defending it, just saying that it was eye opening how many people in the US get behind the wheel after drinking what they consider a small amount of alcohol
Road deaths & accidents in the USA are like twice that of Europe.
But thatβs okay. Accidents are just that, unavoidable and random. Thereβs absolutely nothing else that can be done, so we might as well shrug and accept our fate. When a poor kid gets flattened by an SUV, the only reasonable response is to sigh, feel sad for a moment, and then move on. After all, questioning the design of our roads or the size of our vehicles would be an affront to the gods of chance and the sacred right to drive anywhere, anytime.
Europeans might obsess over safety, but we know better: the universe writes its own traffic plan, and sometimes the ink is a little redder than weβd like..

Not true. You could also call into question why the kid was outside in the vicinity of motor vehicles! Surely the parents can be blamed as well.
Probably also doesn't hurt that the US is generally far more reliant on driving to get anywhere. There's a higher tolerance for doing it dangerously since there's no alternative
What are we supposed to do?? NOT DRINK?
When I suggest taking drivers licenses away, my fellow Americans act like I'm suggesting the death penalty.
It sucks cause in most cities in basically is. DUIs can really quickly ruin your life. No car = no work
I used to live way outside of town and there weren't any night buses on weekdays, so I got a moped at 15. I just didn't drink at all when I hung out with friends on weekdays, even when I turned 16 and it became legal, because I had to drive. It wasn't hard to do and nobody batted an eye. So, the alternative is not drinking. Having no alternative transport is a poor excuse for drunk driving.
This.
Drinking is not a requirement. And if it is, you need better friends.

It's fine to hate popular things, but don't ruin other people's fun.
Also: don't drunk drive.
If light criticism is ruining your fun, I don"t think critics are the problem
