Pales in comparison to the slaughterhouse known as America

Whaaaaaaaaaaa! Taking away people’s happiness! Those terrible Happiness Police! Ludicrous. Anyone whose “happiness” depends on an endless spigot of booze is not mentally healthy, and what they end up with is not real happiness. They just end up drunk. You can get the same effect by hitting yourself in the head with a hammer. Genuinely happy people drink less. I wonder why? Happiness is not the sole property of the rich. It’s curious that you are so jealous of your purported wealthy “drinking parties”. Is everyone else in the world always having more fun than you? Maybe it’s you, not them. Anyway you miss the point of the article. Thailand is entitled to take any steps it sees fit to as a matter of public health. It’s their country, not yours. Those are the rules. Any other inconveniences you want to whine about? Yeah, I bet you could go on all day. Over your endless drunken happy pints, to everyone within earshot, whatever your rant of the day may be. BTW, I enjoy a few pints on occasion, but my “happiness” does not depend on it. As is the case with most people.

Nobody dies or goes blind from "home made" alcohol. It's only when it is unscrupulously spiked with methanol for resale that this happens. The term for this is bootlegging, as in bootlegged alcohol which is NOT the same as homemade. Nobody is going to spike their own booze with methanol. Duh. You do know the difference between ethanol and methanol, right? Most of us do. That's why God gave us wikipedia. Thanks for helping to spread misinformation.
