      If you can’t have fun without alcohol, you’re an alcoholic. Your addiction shouldn’t be encouraged and pushed on others.

        If you have just one thing in life that brings you joy, then I pity you. Now if people want to gather some friends, get a bottle of wine, some pot, or even nothing while they talk, let them be

        Maybe go touch some grass will help

          I said that mindful drinking means not drinking, you reacted saying that I’m not wanting people to have fun, implying that alcohol is a requirement to have fun.

          If you can’t have “joy” without alcohol, you have a problem, and should worry about that. Your reply doesn’t even make any kind of sense.

          And also, no, I’m not going to “let people be” when they do things that cause a lot of problems. And yes, alcohol does cause a lot of problems, even when it’s “just a beer”, and unless you’ve lived in a cave without anyone else your whole life you have seen it, or participated in it

          Maybe start caring about things once in a while, this “let things be” never worked.
