Probably not. They’ll understand it was the best we could do at the time, just like we understand that about our ancestors.

In a world where a decent amount of people are teetotalers, your explanation strikes me as optimistic :-)

[stevejb]

I don't understand. Are you saying it is good that people are teetotalers and that is an example of doing your best?

[oblio]

Yeah, since there are multiple studies that show that alcohol in any quantity is bad for you. People are (slowly) poisoning themselves as replacement for therapy or lack of a support network.
