    You’re so right, we should double the drinking age and raise costs 1000%. And the sugar should have a 1000% tax.

    Good thinking. this will prevent people who already make poor decisions because their brain isn’t developed yet from consuming alcohol and making the problem worse. Drunk driving being a hobby is fucking disgraceful.

    Win-win!
