Off topic & small talk: Why is it cheaper than water (Page 3)

The state doesn't care as long as it can collect tax from it. Is with the cigarettes no different. Can you buy in supermarkets and is in my opinion just as bad as alcohol.

Unfortunately, the turnover in the supermarkets is higher and they know that, which is why such liquid stores as in the States will not give us.

In the restaurants etc. you can also ask for tap water. Costs nothing and is harmless in DE depending on the region. Find there the prices are exaggerated anyway. Would never pay for the bottle of San Pellegrino 2 € or more.

It is incomprehensible that alcohol is treated like a food, although every year thousands die & fall ill from the consequences of alcohol consumption.

It doesn't have to be that strict, because then I wouldn't get my tobacco in the supermarket anymore either, if special stores were set up for consumer products that are harmful.

It is discussed for years about the evil canabis and the just as evil gambling, but what harm alcohol causes nobody seems to care. Compared to other drugs, alcohol is at the top of every list. Traffic accidents caused by drug use?, domestic violence?, costs for health care, justice, etc....... Due to inflation and the maniac from the Volga, even my favorite salt sticks have become 180% more expensive since January. Booze on the other hand has stayed more or less the same. So I can still drink myself to death for 20-25€. If you don't make it more expensive alcohol should be less visible though

my Sixpack-Plörre from Penny,Aldi,Lidl in the plastic bottle (tastes me but) is from 0,29€ (1/2) liter to 0,40€ high. So about 33%. Same drink in the can from 0,29€ to 0,49€. So about 66%. More or less remained the same, so comes only conditionally. Cheers

Okay, alcohol has gone up a bit but compare that to other foods. 500g pasta from .035€ to 0.89€ . That's 150%. And whether that is now cheap or expensive Plörre plays no role. It can not be that the drug that causes the most damage in almost every area of society as harmless downplayed while 10 years on a gambling contract rumgewerkelt is to protect gamblers from gambling addiction. If alcohol were more expensive and more difficult to acquire, perhaps all those who come to the carnival here in Cologne would make it to 11.11Uhr and not already at 9.30Uhr as alcohol corpses lying around in the street.

That by legalizing drugs less criminals or dealers are on the road is not quite true, then just other drugs are sold. THC they should not legalize but rather decriminalize

So that the police can concentrate on the heavy drugs. You can see in Holland how many accidents happen only because of THC in NL, that will do the people certainly not good, that only helps the state to collect more tax money and the dealers where THC sell then turn to coca or chemistry witness, they already know how it goes on.

Again on the subject of alk, my therapy has begun and there are many because of alcohol here, many were already countless times in a detox + long-term therapy
This is terrible for these people, they are suffering they also need a tool to protect themselves against it. We now have oasis which is a great tool to protect themselves. Why it doesn't exist for alcoholics, I really can't understand and I think it's totally disgusting of our state that dry alcoholics don't get the support they need

If someone was 10 times in a detoxification and has made 4 long-term therapies, it is only sad for these people that they drink again and again because it is at Aldi and co at the checkout! Something has to happen
That is so bad. And it is very many women affected what has also shocked me a little

This system what runs there with the alcohol must be but very quickly different
Sorry but have zero understanding for it, it does not have to be more expensive but some kind of control for those who want to stay dry is very important. Something like oasis just for alk where you have e.g. in the ID nen sign where you then recognizes okay here is a dry alcoholic who then gets nothing more and kiosks should only be allowed to sell beer and nothing hard

This is a delicate issue and many people are affected by it
