The way how much drinking and drug consumption is advertised in society is quite concerning. People can't go to parties or dates without drinking. It seems so strange that so many people see no issue in being intoxicated while sleeping with someone else. Shouldn't it be better to be sober while being intimate? Espacially with the possible risk of being taken advantage by someone else (sexual assault, rape etc.) Aren't you able to talk to other people without being slightly drunk? (Same goes for approaching - with the classic line under guys not being able to talk to women without having a drink first) Do you really enjoy each others company if you drink? Should be a clear sign that someone doesn't if they start drinking. Since that person can only endure you while being intoxicated. It also comes with health risks: Three million people are dying from alcohol related issues and with Gen Z not being able to communicate properly I don't see it getting any better. And again it's "just" alcohol and not the other "party drugs". That should be seen as problematic but still when I bring this up to friends or some users on Reddit I don't really get taken seriously. I think it's clear problem that should be adressed way more often.
