“Oh sure, and providing no alcohol to an alcoholic is going to keep them in the hotel room more successfully?
I didn’t say that. I said it would have little positive consequence, be overall ineffective and any effect on behavior would be momentary and transient.
You are embarrassing yourself as you really have no idea what you’re talking about and it is quite apparent.
I am going to take Mark Twain’s advice now concerning arguing with a fool. Have a pleasant evening.
“I didn’t say that.”
No, but you said that giving them some alcohol won’t work, and I’ve gotten you to agree that giving them no alcohol won’t work either. So logically, that now only leaves the option of giving them a whole lot of alcohol. Is that what you are advocating?
There aren’t any other options left on what the correct amount of alcohol to provide to encourage them to stay in quarantine. You’ve rejected options A and B, so now you are left with either advocating option C or admitting that you have absolutely nothing sensible to contribute the conversation.
“You are embarrassing yourself as you really have no idea what you’re talking about and it is quite apparent.”
Yep, yep, ad hominems, the usual resort of those who can’t keep up and want to extricate themselves from an argument.
