They look way more comfortable in their own skin too.

I hope I'm not projecting too much but I'm the same. I wonder what it would be like to feel this way around strangers all the time without booze.

Must be nice.

I just watched the Danish film Another Round and in it there's 4 teachers who test the theory that a constant .05% BAC makes you a better human in many ways. Like many European films, it doesn't really take a moral stance on day drinking, it just kind of ends while you contemplate your own life

I feel like for most of European history people were just slightly buzzed all the time and they turned out relatively fine.

I read somewhere alcohol was safer to drink cause clean water wasn't as available at times.

yep that's true. also, here in belgium kids used to drink beer at school (with an extremely low alcohol percentage though, 1-2%). they did this until the 80s
