No arguments there. My intent with the proposal was more centered around making alcohol consumption actually social. Balancing it against the obvious harms of alcohol is non-trivial.

Bars could be required to have cheap booze in order to keep their licences. But heinekin owning the establishment is a bit of a conflict of interest there.

If allowing problem drinking could cause the alcohol service licence to be revoked (therefore no more cheap booze), perhaps pubs would be incentivised to prevent problem drinking. Requires a working regulatory environment though.

Very true. I'd like to beleive establishments are cutting people off and taking active steps to prevent drink driving, but thats definitely naive.

Im not proposing full prohibition, just that bar alcohol should be cheaper than home.

Alcoholics are already being financial punished by price hikes. I'd be happy for the price hikes to also fund treatment.

Here is a thought, feel free to shoot it down:

Many governments are jacking up prices on alcohol, for the obvious health detriments. Instead of doing it across the board, they could make take home alcohol cost significantly more, but bar/pub/restaurant alcohol significantly cheaper, on the understanding that its a lot harder to problem drink in a public place with a bartender who will cut you off.

It would encourage moderated drinking in social places, discourage excessive home drinking. Doesnt completely solve the health issues though.

Feels a bit wrong to claim it as their own "syntax highlighting", when its really their own "syntax highlighting theme"

Does tapping it with a hammer help? Your probably right, and there is a pressure sensor getting stuck. Maybe try find it and tap it with a hammer to see if dislodges?

I'd avoid using a domain you dont actually own. Those free DNS places can take the domain back at any time. They are also often very low reputation domains.
