The fact is that alcohol is a drug that ruins health, relationships, and often kills.

"Towards A Less Fucked Up World: Sobriety & Anarchist Struggle" is a zine published in the early 2000s by Nick Riotfag that explores the role intoxication culture plays in anarchist communities. The zine provides a thorough exploration of the issues around intoxication and anarchism. Topics covered include "Masculinity, Rape, and Intoxication," "Youth Liberation and Sobriety," "Intoxication and Corporate Culture," "Intoxication and Social Life," "Intoxication in Oppressed Communities," and many more.

There are also two stories detailing how intoxication often plays out in anarchist communities and reflections on how to develop an anarchist sobriety. We have been tabling with this zine for years and it always inspires good conversations! This edition includes a revised text that differs from what was in the first edition of the zine as well as an afterward that includes reflections on the zine and the conversations it spurred. The "Afterward" originally appeared in the book "Sober Living for the Revolution: Hardcore Punk, Straight Edge, and Radical Politics." >

1961 Three Women, a Cocktail, and an Unseen Event

The image shows a vintage advertisement for cocktails featuring three women.
The woman on the left is wearing a red dress and appears to be in motion; her hair is styled and she seems to be engaged in a conversation or laughing with someone not visible in the image.
The central figure, a blonde woman, is sitting with a yellow cocktail dress.
To her right, there is another woman, who is holding a drink and looking at the central figure with an expression that might suggest intrigue or curiosity.
In the bottom left corner of the image, there's a man in a suit holding a bottle of alcohol, seemingly addressing or presenting something to the women.
The background has a gradient from yellow to red and includes some indistinct elements that could be decorative items or abstract representations.

@ian No idea if you are pointing this to a specific issue or space but here is what I consider a cultural issue that exists especially in my state of #Wisconsin… #drinkingCulture

"Christmas Day" on College Rd - a sea of Xmas sweaters and screaming all day and night, with the eventual garda siren passing by - how fun!

Here goes a second sleepless night as there was a pre-party next door last night till 8am this morning 😵

That's the queue to one of the pubs in the pic, if you haven't guessed 😂

@fistfulofdave My first job was at a restaurant/bar. My employer did not follow existing child labor laws and I worked full time my last two years of high school. Being exposed to #drinkingCulture at a young age makes one feel as if they will miss out on life’s great opportunities if one doesn’t engage in #selfHarm behaviors such as #bingeDrinking . I am not better for my experiences working as a teenager; I experienced #burnout at a young age and it has affected me ever since. #childLabor #WI

Visited Soma last night with friends. Between us we got through pretty much the whole cocktail menu. Every single one was delicious.

Plus the bartender made me an off-menu gibson with white truffle gin that tasted like a pickled onion monster munch. Good times.

TL;DR: Soma, v.g., hard recommend.

One thought some of us have had: wouldn't it be nice to have a cheers emoji with coffee or tea instead of alcohol🥂? What do you think? Please share! #drinkingCulture #emoji #nonalcoholic

Great stuff here from Will Hawkes on why hard seltzer hasn't taken off in the UK, and probably never will.
