User blog comment:The Leader/Allow Alcholic Beverages/@comment-3151783-20101025204210

Well, it's not the most convincing blog I've ever seen, but give the guy a break. He wrote this late at night. He was tired. Expect typos and unclear reasoning. BUT, reading between the lines, I suppose he's saying this:


 * Alcahol is not a taboo subject. We don't mention taboo subgects for reasons of age appropriateness, but even the smallest kid knows about alcahol. And if they don't, they soon will.
 * There is no danger here. It's not good, but parents are hardly going to let their five-year-old get drunk just because he's learned the word 'beer'.
 * To be continued. He hasn't finished it. More arguments are to come. please wait for them. Don't delete it on the strength of these (unconvincing, but interesting) arguments.

BTW, a few arguments I would make in his position (and, for the record, I don't agree with his proposal.)


 * Drugs are banned, but medicines are usually drugs. Coffee is a drug, and indeed is addictive, and it's canon. Sugar is a drug. Why not allow socialy acceptable drugs?
 * Cream Soda is canon. CP might show the effects of it. What if they differ?
 * Drunkeness is often ud=sed for comic effect.

And again, I'm against this. But give him a chance to make his point.
