Yes, I have. It was much more pleasant.
Watch someone live in agony for months, then come back and be a smart ass.
Edit: also, why the fuck would anything you said above matter? Nobody is telling you that you can’t drink, they just want to make sure you know and accept the risks.
I'm sorry for your pain. And the smart ass over there.
Thanks, I appreciate you.
They’re anything but smart.
Currently watching someone live in agony and slowly die from non-alcohol related cancer, you don't have a monopoly on pain.
No, that's what education and information campaigns do. You tell people about the dangers of something. Putting warning labels on it is what you do to nag someone every single time they try and enjoy something.
We will all die, and most of the ways to die are horrendously unpleasant. Spend your life slapping warning labels on burnt toast and avoiding going into the sun if you're that scared of the inevitable and see if it makes you happy.
“You just need to educate and inform!!!”
“Ok, we’ll educate and inform people using a proven method we’ve already successfully implemented with cigarettes”
“No not like that!!”
I may not have a monopoly on pain, but you’re certainly trying hard to have one on being intentionally obtuse.
Went for the kill in that last sentence!
You should be wearing sunscreen.
