Yes most of us are old enough and have at a younger age experienced the perils of drinking way too much.
When locals were locals however there was always someone that knew you and would see you home.
Now the young drinkers don't know the benefits of a local they gather together in places with no experienced drunks and aren't taught that drinking to excess isn't really a good idea.
I blame that new fangled horseless carriage called a taxi.
