RE: People that drink in the morning. Where do you go?
Alcohol and peoples relationship with it is quite interesting. I personally have not drink for over 5 years due to some health issues I have but I see many people around me with work and family that can’t relax with out a drink or 3. Here in Australia alcohol is a socially acceptable drug but there is more and more resistance from community and government due to the negative consequences and more rules and laws have been introduced to limit consumption.
I suspect it will become more and more limited over time. 20 years from now I think getting alcohol is going to be similar to getting cigarettes. People will look at you and wonder why you're willing to pay $50 for a six pack of beer do to the super high taxes and everything.
I agree. I just recently saw a TV advert pointing to Alcohol and cancer. Maybe that’s why they are looking at legalising Marijuana so they don’t lose their tax revenue.
