No thanks. I don’t want the back wall of my bar to look like a snuff film. I’m all for making it clear to consumers that alcohol is a major carcinogen but maybe start with alcohol advertising and education?
That’s a great idea. Give me a nasty label I can remove. Makes its point but I can still have my pretty bar. I agree it should be made clear but those who can luckily control themselves don’t deserve to be punished.
I agree that those are way over the top but attractive packaging for selling drugs is just not
ok. And i say this as an enjoyer. Responsible use is common and normal human behavior.
Completely neutral package with a clear label of for informed, responsible, adult use is just sensible.
But i want to stretch that the image it is sold as does not mean that should be the final look. There is a lot of potential creativity left to make something safe to put on a shelf or site but is in hand still classy for the user to enjoy. After all, the good vibes of aesthetics on the table are not nearly as bad as those from the drug itself, while taking that away actually puts more emphasis in that purely chemical high.
If we go to far we with with neutralizing we could end deciding that flavors make drugs appealing (flavored cigarettes are actually band in places) but for liquor that can backfire to reducing everything to wodka.
you want to see disgusting, go see babies being born crack addicted and if they survive day two moms fight doctors to take them out because they need their fix, and the baby is going through withdrawal … it is like watching the scariest movie.
It won’t help beers but I wouldn’t mind the wide scale reintroduction of decanters to the modern age. I have accumulated a few since I’ve been of drinking age and they all feel fancier than pouring from the bottle.
I think it depends. At least in my area decanters went from classy to tacky for some reason in popular culture. Can you share photos of yours? I’ve never used them. I think it might make sense to use them if you keep one good bourbon, gin, vodka, etc. But if you’re like me and mostly drink bourbon/whisk(ey) then that would just be difficult.
Please no. Some of the bottles are so good looking. The cigarette warning are disgusting.
That’s the whole point. That’s a good thing.

Ohh… you have a bar, well there is an unbiased position, a person making profit selling toxic substances to addicts
Smoke film on the walls bother him. Move the bar to a dead end alley so exhaust fumes don’t affect your cleaning
I think a good compromise would be a simple overwrap or removable label that can be removed after purchase.

You mean buy black label but you will not know the color till you unwrap the bottle

Not the same.
