yep. like what id say is that "health" can be a set of ideological regimens as domineering as other oppressive structures under capitalism. Of course we should aim for a healthier society by removing certain things that don't give people joy but harm health (getting rid of lead, carcinogenic materials in foods, adding more walkability and transit options, reducing sugar and salt in food stables, ect) but like at the end of the day booze give people a great way to bond communally in a safe outdoor setting and getting rid of that sucks far more than just reducing your life span by a couple years.
Alcohol also gave us Neera Tanden and her late-night Xanax-and-Franzia-fueled Tweet storms. These directly resulted in a sitting US Senator uttering the words, "You called Senator Sanders everything but an ignorant slut" in a confirmation hearing, which has been one of the high points in the history of AmeriKKKan gerontocracy.
i mean in their back yards, parks in chiller areas, basically everywhere in civilized country where public drinking bans aren't used as a way to harass ethnic minorities
Yummy poison
