      It's not like AA was some attempt by anti-Prohibitionists to dig Prohibition's grave It WAS a temperance movement, in strategic retreat, carrying on temperance by other means. This is also obvious if you've ever been to a meeting - it absolutely does view alcohol as "evil"

      "If I were in charge I would simply take a top down approach and ban the thing entirely, or at least openly tell everyone it was evil and would damn their soul Why has nobody thought of this" God I hate this kind of take so much

      They've been trying to do that for hundreds of years and every time they do there's a huge backlash and it fails Shakespeare fucking wrote about it, Toby Belch yelling at Malvolio the Puritan "Thinks thou because thou art sad (sober) there will be no more cakes and ale?"

      Come on We're *in* a temperance movement, right now, still The AA bottom-up model of imposed temperance actually has worked, it's created a new social norm of "You're a piece of shit if you offer alcohol to someone defined as 'in recovery'" That never used to exist

      "What if we treated alcohol more like cigarettes" We're doing that! Liquor licenses are exorbitantly expensive, both federal and state governments charge an excise tax on alcohol, and the number of places you can't have an open container increases every day

      Has there not been an increase in adult beverage-serving theaters, though? I feel like more cinemas are moving in that direction. The local Cinemark in Southern Oregon does, and the rise of Alamo Drafthouse and the like is surely a thing, no?

      That's a cultural trend that doesn't seem to me to be the result of alcohol becoming more generally acceptable but of movie theaters trying to rebrand because people don't go to them anymore

      Like, think about it, the fact that "Beer in a movie theater!" feels edgy and transgressive to many people - a big-city experience you won't get at your local shopping mall cineplex! - is kind of proving my point

          But that's the way with all this stuff Everything is in a constant virtue-vice tug of war I tell you that our country is locked in the grip of diet culture and fat shaming and you're like "But look at all the fast food places everywhere advertising triple bacon cheeseburgers"

          Yeah no shit There's no contradiction there Indeed the diet culture and the junk food culture directly feed each other, they depend on each other

          ...was in Germany where "beer in a McDonalds" was a fast food survival tactic.
