Most parties serve alcoholic drinks. Alcohol is a common reason for sudden and early deaths. Do you go around saying that in every party you attend?

[CleanRoomClub]

I think it’s more akin to telling someone at the party that it’d be stupid to chug that whole bottle of liquor on a dare.

Drinking alcohol is almost certainly more dangerous than dropping hats.

This is not even close.

Heck, pick any one negative impact of drinking alcohol at parties (impaired driving, or long term health effects, or impaired judgment, etc) and that individual impact would probably be orders of magnitude worse than the total negative impact of dropping hats.

If someone spikes the punch with alcohol that's bad. If everyone is consenting: drop away. If they don't consent please leave them alone.

Is dropping a hat really comparable to chugging a whole bottle of liquor?

[solsane]

It is a hat. Chugging a bottle of liquor has way more harm potential.

[Retric]

Only if you’re focused on the individual instead of risk to unrelated 3rd parties.

[alex_lav]

Yes, think of how dangerous it is to have a hat land nearby…

[Retric]

You mean how dangerous is tossing something vision blocking where people drive…

[alex_lav]

Yes, how dangerous is it? Please enlighten me.

Do you go around qualifying every point with a hyperbolic example to show that it doesn’t generalize at every party that you attend?

[HPMOR]

Yes, you don’t?
