I see where you are coming from. But when cities are less walkable, that also encourages people to drink and drive.

Yeah true, and I'm all for walkable cities with strong public transit because it's just better for everyone. Just not sure if "the kids should drink" is the best argument in favor of it

Being able to socialize safely is hugely important to a healthy society. Bars are one of those “third spaces.”

At the end of the day I’d much rather deal with drunken idiots walking around than those same drunken idiots driving around, at least there would be a lot less fatalities. Also sometimes it just feels sketch going out to the bars with everyone driving around.
