Soapbox
So my Mom is on her soapbox about drinking and smoking on the beach. Apparently there was some kind of floatopia event today in Mission Valley where consenting adults drank off shore to avoid the beach alcohol ban.
Apparently they are thumbing their nose at authority and being rowdy and rude. Whatever. Yawn. America has an alcohol problem from binge drinking to underage drinking because the culture makes such a big deal about it.
We went from prohibition (which didn’t work) to alcohol advertisements everywhere you look. But then there’s zero tolerance till you’re 21. Wake up people. Europe is way more laid back about alcohol and they don’t have near the problems we do. Maybe they have the right idea.
