I would like to file a motion against teenagers in this sub
Dear Mods [u/I_SAID_NO_GOLDFISH](u/I_SAID_NO_GOLDFISH) & [u/t8ke](u/t8ke)
For a long time now the moment I check my feed a post is recommended from this beloved sub, normally it would be talking about drink preferences, recipes, recommendations, among other things related to Alcohol. However, this is not the case with every post as more often than not there is a post of a teenager that has drunk a lot and either thinks will die or thinks not getting a hangover makes them a superhuman.
Legal drinking age is not only about laws but it’s also about protecting the body of the inexperienced in life younger ones. Alcohol is poison, drinking while the body is not fully grown makes it worse.
As many others, I did drink while I was a minor, not necessarily blackout drunk but socially surrounded by people I knew who kept me in check so I didn’t make actions I could regret later on. Kids are stupid, that’s inevitable, but this is r/Alcohol not r/AAforMinors.
This motion won’t stop them from drinking but it can decrease the shitposting in this sub and let it be used for what it really should be “Posting shit about alcohol”.
I suggest a removal/ban on “It’s my first time drinking and I don’t know what to do, do I tell my parents?”, “I’m 20yrs 150lbs, how much can I drink?”and “omg, I drank 3 whole bottles and I didn’t get a hangover, is this normal??” posts.
I leave it up to you. Thank you.
