  Bro, this is clearly a fantasy scenario where we have a non-liquid substance with the same effects as alcohol. No one’s asking you to make tequila fun dip for real.

  Look straight up, WAY up. That’s the whole point of the conversation going over your head.

  The question is NOT “Can we make more forms of alcohol?”

  It IS “Is alcohol’s high social acceptance strongly influenced by it being a beverage?”

    Oh yeah.

    But this whole thing seems like, “what if my grandma was a bike” so fuck it.

      We’re in c/shower_thoughts. “What if my grandma was a bike?” would fit right in

      I mean, we could talk about the societal implications of grandmothers metamorphosing into bikes, if you want. Hey, it’s your hypothetical…
