It's honestly one of the biggest ills facing society. The roadmap to addiction is severe, and there's really nothing "cool" about it.

While it doesn't necessarily precipitate dysfunction, it definitely greases the wheels, and leads to all manner of things from general assholery to physical abuse to date rape.

Especially in America, where we've stupidly raised the drinking age to 21, which has achieved little beyond promoting binge drinking among teens.

Fuck the doom posting. I'd rather hear about you going on some grand adventure hike than clinking ice cubes to the desperation of your soul.

I'm not for prohibition, but I think people need to check themselves before playing their hand in blackout culture.

    Fuck the doom posting. I’d rather hear about you going on some grand adventure hike than clinking ice cubes to the desperation of your soul.

    Thats just your stupid fucking opinion you lib. The reality is that in our capitalist hellhole is that not everybody has the money and time to engage in this bullshit "muh positivity" instagram and corporate culture and go on these so called "grand adventures". Doomposting is a form of honest venting, and communities which discourage such honesty fall prey to the greater ideological rot that is capitalist realism. A first step to solving any problem is acknowledging and understanding its existence, and doomposting is a means of raising consciousness about such problems.

    I’m not for prohibition, but I think people need to check themselves before playing their hand in blackout culture.

    Imagine thinking a >8K strong small group of leftists on the internet infrequently posting about alcohol is responsible for causing "muh blackout culture". Shut the fuck up. Also, Im sorry, but who here is actually making posts that glorifying alcohol consumption?
