The haunting fear that someone, somewhere may be happy.
Floatopia's Last Hurrah. Provide people with a place to enjoy a beer, and enforce litter laws instead of this Nanny State approach to over-regulate every aspect of people's lives. *Bonus points if you can pick out Kukri in the floatilla.*

I watched 'Into the Wild' yesterday. I am quite convinced Rainey, of that hippie couple, is Kukri. The role was played by a completely unknown actor.
All of life's wisdom, a moustache, and life as a hippie quest. I know it was Kurki and he's to modest to tell us.

^- Kukri

And wut aren't you allowed to drink a beer on the beach

[rory_20_uk]

On beaches, the likely side effect of drinking is drowning. Since this affects the person who'se decided to drink and not others then it's their life.

I imagine that many people can have a quiet beer in the shade and swim, or get rat arsed and not swim. Hell, people can eat on the beach and that can increase one's risk of drowning... should that be banned too?

[Fragony]

It are always tourists who underestimate how dangerous the North-Sea is who drown. Free tip for Germans: NEVER SWIM IN THE NORTH SEA YOU IDIOTS. There.

Indeed, those floating German corpses makes the North-Sea stink. AND IT ARE ALWAYS GERMANS.
Germans, please refrain from swimming in the North-Sea,

And of course the Danish where they wash up. Every year tourists drown yes, it's counterintuitive, when you are pulled down you must swim down, if you fight it you are dead. Same when you are pulled into open sea, you will eventually be able to swim back if you swim paralel to the coast, but it's a scary experience and if you panic you are dead. Coast folks know this, tourists, and most are German, don't.

A floating bed in a stream isn't a very good idea, maybe we should hold an educational campaign in Germany?

[miotas]

Is there any question? People should be able to drink where ever they bloody well please.

Floating bed is safe it are the undercurrents, you can spot them by bodies of perfectly calm water. These currents are exactly there, it's very deceptive and people don't listen. So Germans, DO NOT SWIM IN THE NORTH-SEA

Reasonable consumption is not a problem at all. It is when people start leaving their bottles behind that it becomes a problem.

[gaelic cowboy]

Seeing as were giving free marine advice on this thread here is my bit.

Everybody but especially Polish people please stop thinking you can go sea fishing of the west coast of Ireland.
Rock fishing is dangerous the reason is simple the Baltic is a SEA the Atlantic is an OCEAN.

never eat yellow snow

that is all

So this has been handled in the standard American way, which is to ban drinking on the beach completely. Maybe instead of patrolling for illicit booze, the beach cops should just ticket people for littering. God forbid that an existing law gets enforced...

Exactly there are usually loads of Byelaws available that can be enforced instead apparently we require more laws

two beaches where i live, north beach and south beach.

north beach is the 'developed' waterfront and drinking isn't allowed.

south beach is the empty stretch behind the castle where there are no restrictions.

works for me.

Who in their right mind would take naval advice from people living on an island

Mainly Eastern Europeans keep getting swept off by huge waves and there is absolutely no hope of rescue, honestly fishing of the west coast on a rock in winter your asking for it.

That's not an issue with location, it's an issue with occupation. They do serve alcohol on planes after all, it's just a bad idea to drink it if you are flying the thing.

Can the authorites not simply ban the drinking of Bud Light?

[gaelic cowboy]

Why would anyone want to drink it anyway?????

[HoreTore]

....And people should be allowed the freedom to walk outside without running into drunk people everywhere they go.

It's a common sense thing to me. I wouldn't want a free-for all, but neither do I want a ban. Let's say 5 adults and 15 kids are having a picnic; if 5 drunken teenagers started drinking in their midst, I would not object to the police escorting them elsewhere, for example.

[Centurion1]

They should just ban corona. Nows there's something to be criminalized.

[HoreTore]

I've tasted that once. At a danish pub, after they ran out of beer(!). It shouldn't be criminalized.

It should be counted as a war crime.

Whatever the jews suffered at Auschwitz, I'm quite sure it doesn't compare.

[a completely inoffensive name]

Yes, crappy beer is worse then the Holocaust, I think we can all agree on that.

[Beskar]

What was that rule where...

Not that bad with some lemon on a hot summer day

Corona does not deserve to be called "beer", even if it has the word "crappy" in front.

Yes, which is why I agree with you that drinking it is worse then the Holocaust.

That's a pretty serious drink....
