I find it sad that yet another technique to promote alcohol abuse has developed.

AdipicAcid, self-righteous puritanism that disallows all enjoyment is certainly wrong.

But isn't clean, safe, fun better than overindulging in something that provides short term pleasure but soon results in health problems or even death?

Worry about yourself. Let other adults worry about themselves.
