AA also has a pretty low success rate. Something like under 10-20% if I'm not mistaken. That means 80% of the people that try it fail. Programs that teach people how to consume alcohol in moderation have much higher success rates.
Besides, I never said everybody drinks responsibly. I said people CAN drink responsibly. But I guess it doesn't matter that the majority of the population isn't involved with AA. If a huge portion of the population were going to AA meetings on a regular basis, it would be pretty newsworthy.
Um the success rate was not the point. The fact is that according to you, people are “much more” responsible as they get older (with nothing but anecdotal evidence to back up your claims). Yes as people get older they mature, but I don’t know of much objective evidence between getting old and drinking responsibly, as is noted by AA clubs and Programs that you brought up that teach people to drink in moderation, which by the way just further enforces that people have trouble drinking responsibly and that there are many adults having these issues.
Yes you have said that people CAN drink responsibly (and were so happy you can :p) , as I have said, my point was that you can be responsible today and reckless tomorrow. Just because you become an adult does not guarantee you step away from the realm of irresponsible drinking. You have stated to the effect that anything in life can go wrong while doing anything, expect to a person who drinks responsibly because apparently someone who can drink responsibly can never ever drink irresponsible one time and in that one time nothing could possibly go wrong. Someone stating that I know how to be responsible I have gone through my plastered drinking stage and I now and forever know how to drink responsible and I will never be irresponsible while drinking and even though I could never ever ever be irresponsible when drinking a future time, nothing unexpected could occur due to my irresponsible drinking one time even though I would never be irresponsible, ever. No your right thats not foolish to think at all :p hahahaha
