What is your claim?

Drinking is normal in your culture —> drinking is not risky in your culture ?

This is patently false; drinking carries risks in any context, perhaps even moreso in environments which fail to recognize its potential for harm

My claim is that in culture where drinking is normalized, people dont perceive drinking risky. Consequently, drinking as activity is not all that much biased toward "risk takers".

It does not really matter how much risk it "objectively" puts you through. It attracts risk takers only if people consider it risky.

would you say that a significant fraction of people in any culture agree that there are many activities for which drinking and then doing that activity would be considered risky?
