It's like saying that if employees are paid and treated like shit, they should still work hard because the opposite would be immoral.
That's bullshit, if AIs are crap because they train on unwilling people, it's the company's fault, not the people who are coerced into working for free.
What scenario exactly? The deaths and health issues caused by each? Because else, there is really no point. You're just grasping for anything you can find to defend alcohol if all you can find is"there are some vitamins in some alcoholic drinks", especially considering that it is also the case for a lot of sweet drinks, even sodas.
Alcohol is extremely unhealthy, causes dangerous behaviours, deaths, cancers and so on, is one of the few things that can kill you from withdrawal, causes permanent defects on kids during pregnancy, and all of that while being not only legal, not only accepted, but actually actively encouraged and seen as a requirement in society. If you don't believe me just try to post anything saying that alcohol is stupid at parties.
In the US 31% of car fatalities are linked with alcohol consumption. I don't think you can argue that it's negligible.
I doubt that poor infrastructure is causing more than that, and as far as I know there is no magic solution to solve human error (while there is, for drunk driving: don't drink).
Also this conversation was about comparing it to sugar, and I will take a bet and say that sugar causes car accidents, violence and rape much less often than alcohol.
I'm referring to the orion slaves episode (Bound), the cogenitor episode, and impulse, yes. And if people like impulse then they like a low-quality resident evil movie, not star trek.
Made me realise that I also forget to mention the episode with graphical teen incest scenes, too. And the various episodes with discrimination and sexual assault which are plenty.
The spread of AI as a valid tool to get proper data/information is a big problem and threat.
So I have a problem with something that is actively making things worse, yes.
Politics are becoming more and more of the center of a lot of issues, of course it's going to be everywhere. Just like if a comet is about to hit earth and you complain about all communities talking about it, even if unrelated.
Your stance is looking a lot like enlightened centrism at this point, and that's definitely not a good thing.
You can try to crush it in smaller fragments and embed it in wet food, but I don't think it's ever easy (except with animals that gulp down food in half a second maybe)
Downvoting someone stupidly implying that most people with any health issue are responsible for it because they're lazy.
Stop clowning around and turn on your brain.
