Most of us drink alcohol. In the UK the people making laws absolutely do. We know it's bad for us but we drink it anyway because we feel entitled to make the decision that the benefits outweigh the harm for us as individuals. Some of us get drunk and make bad decisions. Some of us get ourselves killed, or kill other people, but regardless, the consensus is that it should be available to adults.

Clearly this means it is rank hypocrisy to forbid children from slamming shots in the school cafeteriae?
