Yeah sure lets close all bars so people will stop drinking alcohol.

I run a bar and I really fucking care.

We keep a close eye on our drunks and take away car keys and/or call cabs even after small amounts of alcohol.

Holding a piece of a crashed car in your hands might have a positive impact on someone or spark a discussion. I just sent that picture to my contact at one of the institutions for safer drinking I work with. I think that coaster might safe a life or two and that is enough for me to validate its existence. It sure reminded me of my duty to keep my guests in check and to remind my staff to do the same.

I know many bars don`t give a shit and those bars should get their liquor license revoked.

But many bars like mine offer a safe space for people to unwind and socialize. For many we are the only place where they get a warm welcome and someone to talk to.

Ingesting poison is part of the human expirience and will be forever, don't dunk on us for moderating it.

Oh and fuck nestle of course.
