It’s fine to hate popular things, but don’t ruin other people’s fun.

If light criticism is ruining your fun, I don"t think critics are the problem

I think this is more for the random person that attacks people for being fans of things eg adults attacking adults because they like Legos

in my experience, culturally, drinking one (1) 4.8% ABV 33ml can of beer in Europe is drunk driving
Drinking two (2) 6.2% ABV fl oz (946ml) glasses of beer and smoking weed in the USA is not drunk driving.
Not defending it, just saying that it was eye opening how many people in the US get behind the wheel after drinking what they consider a small amount of alcohol

in wisconsin you arent legally considered an adult until you get a dui
BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 19 hours ago
Probably also doesn't hurt that the US is generally far more reliant on driving to get anywhere. There's a higher tolerance for doing it dangerously since there's no alternative

When I suggest taking drivers licenses away, my fellow Americans act like I’m suggesting the death penalty.

I used to live way outside of town and there weren’t any night buses on weekdays, so I got a moped at 15. I just didn’t drink at all when I hung out with friends on weekdays, even when I turned 16 and it became legal, because I had to drive. It wasn’t hard to do and nobody batted an eye. So, the alternative is not drinking. Having no alternative transport is a poor excuse for drunk driving.

Yeah. You’re not gonna find many Swedes getting behind the wheel regardless of alcohol amount. There used to be a HARD stigma against it, since we know what happens. People used to get so drunk that we had to create a state monopoly of alcohol sales, in an attempt to reduce it. People argue about the actual effect, but i know that it’s cultural suicide to get behind the wheel drunk. The legal limit is 0,2 ppm alcohol.
The Danes however… They could drink 3 halfliter lagers before reaching the legal limit of 0,8
ArcaneGadget@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Danish limit is 0,5 like most of Europe. Most people here have a rule of thumb of 2 regular beers.

Legally speaking in the USA anything after the first is driving while intoxicated/under the influence (different states use DWI or DUI).
Working in the booze biz you are sadly correct though. I had a wine rep a few years back offer to pay for my parking in NYC if I went to a tasting. I told him I was taking the train and he was surprised. He shouldn’t be.
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 9 hours ago
You really don’t need to swallow at a wine tasting. In fact you’ll be able to taste a lot more without starting to affect your judgment if you don’t.

driving while intoxicated/under the influence (different states use DWI or DUI).
I thought it was a matter of severity, with DUI being over the limit but not obviously impaired and DWI driving while there’s no doubt that you’re drunk, leading to more severe punishment?

There's a time factor as well. One standard drink per hour will keep a normal sized adult below about 0.05 bac indefinitely.
Vinstaal0@feddit.nl 18 hours ago
In NL you are allowed to have 0,05% of alcohol in your blood, which is about 2 Dutch classes. We often server 0.2L glasses these days, it sucks …
rijksoverheid.nl/…/mag-ik-met-alcohol-op-deelneme…
And waith you can have almost of litre of beer in your blood and it is still not drunk driving? Yeeeez, especially considering the US is a shit place to walk or bike. No wonder why there are so many drunk driving accidents
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 17 hours ago
to clarify I am speaking “culturally” not legally.
Most people go out for drinks and drive home.

This is so true. For example, Werner Herzog hates the French language, despite speaking it fluently. He once had to regrettably speak French when he was held at gun point by drunk child soldiers in Africa.
Pretty uninteresting guy, I’d say.
t_berium@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
I hope this is sarcasm. Herzog is a fascinating guy, even if you don’t watch his movies or read his works. Just watch any interview with him and you might be surprised how interesting his views on things are.
Nangijala@feddit.dk 1 hour ago
It was very obviously sarcasm.
I thought that bringing up him being held at gun point by drunk child soldiers in Africa and forced to speak a language you hate was pretty obviously the opposite of boring.
I was making fun of the meme.

For every person who thinks they’re interesting for hating a popular thing, there’s ten who will be like OMG YOU THINK YOURE SO SPECIAL AND BETTER THAN EVERYONE when you casually mention you don’t particularly care for a popular thing.
