Alcohol has been a humanity thing since it's inception lad. It's only recently where there's been a big push to eliminate it starting in the early 1900's in the states. Also drinking is a fun thing to do in moderation if you can handle the taste. Smoking on the other hand is pleb tier shit.

Because drinking and smoking are signs of being an adult

Alcohol, depending on what you drink, can be fucking delicious, and has no long-term negative effect if you drink moderately

>>377904496

I don't think Islam's intention was to ban alcohol for health or even moral reasons but for control. That said in the west there hasn't been a major push aside from the abolition and we all know how that ended. There's always going to be people against things but for alcohol in the west it's more of a recent thing.

Because his blood is obviously a much better option.

The virtual realities in videogames always mirror our own in some ways. The people in the like to smoke or drink, because people in real life like to smoke or drink. And since videogames generally let you do more than you are allowed to do in real life, like killing people and fighting, it would be weird to have unrealistic restrictions like no alcohol.

Or, short answer: beer good, shut up.

Of course Japanese people love alcohol, have you seen the culture they are stuck living in?

I'm not a big drinker because I don't like hangovers. And I don't like nicotine because whats the point? That's why I smoke DUDE instead which I'm pretty ok with not appearing in vidya because it would be cringey as fuck.

Smoking works because its 9/10 just establishing "coolness" which is stolen from movies and a very well known trope. Drinking is a cultural thing, common social thing, and has certain affects on people that can work well for story telling like making them honest. Nobodies really establishing great ways to use marijuana to any affect in media other than stoner comedies which range from great even sober to terrible and cringey as fuck DUDE WEED SO COOL shit like the Farcry 3 marijuana farm.

Absolutely not
Stop puking retarded made-up facts out of your ass

Alcohol is a big and large part of why Humans even started settling and forming settlement, towns and cities to begin with and it was one of the very first valuables that was for trade.

Why is this and how does it connect to your question? Because humans like alcohol and alcohol helps us socialize and be more outwardly towards others. It can and has formed communities and comraderies due to it's social influence and it's effect on us.

While Alcoholism itself and the consumption of too much alcohol is bad, you cannot take away the social aspect of the fact that alcohol innately brings out of us a feeling of being social and happy, this has been ingrained in us since we started settling and becoming farmers and has been an important point throughout all of human history in all societies and social classes.

There is your answer.

If there is no corelation between violence and video games, why would there be with drug use.
In fact there isn't any corelation between even worse concepts like the jap eroge titles featuring lolis getting raped constantly. Why? Because its fictitious and none of it matters.

If anything it provides a release for the sickos, and job for a voice actress, over the real thing where a young girl will be forced to 'satisfy market demands'.

It's most definately a cultural thing. A lot of games are made in USA, the country where the only amendment we ever repealed was the one that banned alcohol, or how national anthem's musical theme is based on a drinking song.
>(strangely Japanese games do it even more)
Japan is an even heavier drinking society. It's considered very rude to refuse outings with coworkers, and even ruder to refuse drinkes being poured to you by your boss. If you aren't stumbling back home blind, you're doing it wrong. Being one of the most depressed countries and not having to drive to get anywhere helps promote this.

Modern governments deliberately encourage alcohol abuse for two reasons:

1) If your citizens have a source of quick, easy, cheap gratification, they'll have less qualms with sacrificing more of their free time in the name of work

2) A drunk and substance-dependent populace is an easily controlled populace

Only because the US pressured them into making it illegal in the 50's. Before that they were a stoner culture. There are still temples devoted to weed in Japan and old people will gladly tell you about when they used to grow crops for textiles and smoking.

They've recently reopened their largest marijuana farm from the old times for medical research and general word around yakuza friends is that if either the US (or a few other major countries like Canada/NZ etc) legalize nationally then Japan's probably not that far behind, maybe 5-10 years. They run the country like a business afterall so when the govt can smell money they'll go after it quicksmart.

Being social is rewarding. Being comfortable enough around others to smoke/drink builds trust. Knowing how to moderate yourself and function as a human being under various circumstances is the key to happiness.

You can be a weeb, an obsessive nerd, a social butterfly, have a good job, and be an incredible partner. Just treat life routines as a video game and try to get a high score.

Having quit alcohol years ago, I wouldn't recommend anyone start. I wasn't even an alcoholic, I just realized that all the trouble it gives you isn't worth the fleeting joy of a buzz. Thousands of dollars a year if you drink often, liver damage, pancreas damage, cancer threat, makes you temporarily retarded, etc.

It's not even a contest, really.

The cigarette industry is tanking in the newer generation, while older folks who grew up smoking are dying off from cancer and lung necrosis.

Fact is, people are welcome to kill themselves any way they want. Trying to pretend and portray smoking as something cool and fun is fucking stupid; just slake your habits and get on with your business.

This would be a problem is there was a plausible correlation from that aggression into violent tendencies.

For which there is zero evidence or proof, because in that study, aggression is their buzzword narrative-spinning term for assertiveness and not actual violence.

Because in medieval times if you weren't drinking you were struck with crippling depression at the realization that you were likely going to die before you hit the age of 30, and the conditions in which you lived were pretty shite. So people got drunk to ignore it.

The point before being drunk loosens people up and gives them a generally pleasant feeling.

It's entirely possible to enjoy a buzz and not enjoy getting stumble-fuck drunk.

This only works when you're buzzed too.
My former group of friends I had to move away from never drank and those were the best friends I had. Every evening was way more enjoyable than my cureent friends.
They tend to drink to get buzzed but they become super annoying and you realise this when you stay sober like I do. Most people are obnoxious and/or retarded and not more interesting than before.
Boring people try to overshadow their blandness sometimed.

islam actually saw drinking as good for most of it's early history. really untill the 11th century when they went ultra puritan the turks even as late as the 18th century were well known to prefer anseed flavored alchohols. They also made much commentary on how coffee made you a whiny faggot and alcohol made you happy and loyal. Hell Muhammad drank date wine and allowed his followers to drink provided they didn't get drunk. Crazy muslim abrigation ruins everything now we will never know what the wines of shirazi tasted like

Too bad that violent video games lead to violent behavior in all ages. Adults too. Also if you are losing the argument, using insults makes you look a bit childish.

Supporting previous research, this study found that playing a violent video game in comparison to a neutral video game significantly increased levels of aggression."

Rightly so. Smoking is even dumber than drinking.

>>377910178
Sounds like anecdotal evidence, honestly.

I have a couple of friends who like to drink, specifically in social settings. It makes them a lot less tense and reserved, which works for our setting.

It sounds like you just had friends previously that meshed more with you than your current.

>>377910954
I was talking about how it affects you personally, not society as a whole.

Drinking alcohol isn't alcoholism. And smoking is a character flaw. Characters need flaws, ya dingus

whats the point of drinking alcohol if you don't want to get drunk

Betrayal at Krondor had a neat intoxication system. Using an inn after drinking would augment the rate of health and stamina recovery. Trying to do things in the world while drunk, however, raised failure rates and combat effectiveness. Some puzzles actually depended on you intentionally gimping yourself this way, in late game.

>>377911181
Tastes good and makes water potable

>>377911181
Tastes good, makes your throat wet so you have an easier time of conversation and without being drunk you can get to the point of being more extroverted than usual while aware of your actions.

>>377911181
Surprise surprise, some of it does actually taste good. You typically have to go beyond the standard stuff though.

>>377911090
It slowly kills you over time. Where as booze causes someone to likely kill you tonight on your way home from work.

Cigaretts at least make you sexy so you will create more life

>>377911181
Certain levels of inebriation give pleasant feelings and generally make you less of a stuck-up cunt and more of an obnoxious cunt.

Luckily you can achieve that level without getting "drunk". Getting drunk generally means you can no longer perform your basic motor skills properly which, while temporarily fun, has some problems.

>>377910831
Switzerland, people don't have to choose between eating or smoking so they smoke

Literally all alcohol tastes like complete shit to me, except for maybe some ciders. I always have to mix spirits with soft drinks otherwise I can't stomach them, and all beer I've drunk (not just American piss, proper European lagers, ales, etc) has tasted disgusting. I will never get the appeal of alcohol, feeling drunk is horrible too, like you can't even control your body.
