Let's pick up where we left all, shall we? You are sitting in a bar. Why are you drinking?

Just because it's to win back memories does not mean it's appropriate. The Echo shouldn't be running a game like this with so many minors present in the first place.

Re: DISCUSSION

[quackery]

Minors? What do you mean?

Re: DISCUSSION

[fallbymyhands]

Those below the legal drinking age of 20?

Re: DISCUSSION

[quackery]

...You have to be a certain age?

Re: DISCUSSION

[fallbymyhands]

Yes?

[ISN'T THAT NORMAL]

Re: DISCUSSION

[quackery]

Nobody ever told me that!

Re: DISCUSSION

[fallbymyhands]

I assume the age restriction is in place to make sure people drink responsibly.

Though even adults abuse it sometimes.

Re: DISCUSSION

[quackery]

Are you sure that's a thing everywhere? I've never heard of it!

Re: DISCUSSION

[fallbymyhands]

I can't speak for worlds not my own, of course.

Re: DISCUSSION

[quackery]

Then why do you think that should be the rule here? I mean, if it were bad the Echoes would have done something, right?

Re: DISCUSSION

[fallbymyhands]

It isn't as though alcohol is inherently bad. If you drink it in moderation, then it's quite all right.

But minors are affected differently by alcohol than adults are. That's why it's regulated.

Re: DISCUSSION

There are a great deal of minors who do not have laws that restrict their drinking, ftr.

Re: DISCUSSION

[fallbymyhands]

That doesn't mean they should be imbibing beverages that affect their decision making capacities.

Re: DISCUSSION

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

I still don't see why adults can and kids can't. Booze does that stuff to everyone. So far the only argument that can't apply to adults is laws.

Re: DISCUSSION

[fallbymyhands]

It does, an even adults abuse the beverage, of course. But the logic is that it affects adults differently.

Re: DISCUSSION

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Really. And where is the evidence of that?

Re: DISCUSSION

[. . . SHE DOESN'T REMEMBER]

You'll have to forgive the holes in my memory. But rest assured I'm not calling alcohol inherently bad.

Re: DISCUSSION

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

Uh huh.

From what I can tell, alcohol seems to affect everyone differently. There's diff kinds of drunks, diffs amount people can take, diff reactions.
