LOL, that is a good pickup line.

Yep. It was definitely a different time back then when we had good street-level drugs that were affordable and didn't kill you.

And the chicks would absolutely drop their panties for a few lines.

Damn. I miss being young.

Jesus did die though.

I don't think that was alcohol-related, LOL.

Does that include I Tim. 5:23: Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.

It’s not good overall. As is not any drug.

Nothing wrong with proselytizing something that hurts no one.

But I never said anything about banning it.

They weren’t drunk cause the wine and beer they drank was watered down.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Again, that was because fermenting helped eliminate infectious agents. They didn’t know about boiling water.

[M_Continuum]

Yeesh, that’s a good reason to drink, a lot.

[frank ballenger]

Good point.

[Fungi]

And you drink boiling water?

[metmom]

But it’s not the vax.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Hence my comment.

I don’t drink to forget.
I drink to remember.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Haven’t you learned anything from scouts or just camping?

[RedMonqey]

Excessive oxygen can be poisonous too so what, we’re supposed to stop inhaling cuz we might die of oxygen poisoning?

Two places “they” do not want people to gather together is churches and bars. Too much information is exchanged, and too many people find others that are like-minded thus realizing they are not the only ones who feel the way they do.

Just like during their high points during the pandemic, they shut down both bars and churches. You have to ask yourself why when protesting for “approved” causes was quite okay. Gathering together with like-minded was fine for one narrative, but not for the other.

[Fungi]

No. And you are remiss in exegetics.

[SpaceBar]

colonists learned that much of the water was contaminated and unsafe to drink so they substituted beer and wine...

Sounds like urban legend to hide the fact that they were drunks. Boiling water for two minutes (yes 120 seconds) and allowing it to cool kills all waterborne pathogens. Backpackers know this.
