Germany plans to allow 50g/month for adult consumers. Is that enough and why is it not? (self.trees)

I'm obviously joking in the title, but I'm serious with the question. Besides the fact that I as an adult should be able to consume as much as I want at any given time (I'm only hurting myself, if at all), I was wondering what you guys think about that amount.

Personally, I feel that for me it would be more than enough, but then again I don't see how they came to that number. What are your thoughts?

There already is free, non-judgemental help available for alcoholics here in Germany. Yet, we still have a lot of alcoholics in our society. If you have an issue with substance abuse, it won't help you, if you will be prosecuted for it. Addicts will allways find (potentially dangerous) ways to get their drug of choice.

I agree though, that there should be a lot more of these addiction care programs. There also should be a lot more (truthful) awareness campaigns and the glorification of alcohol (or any other substance) through advertising shouldn't exist.

On the other hand, I don't think there should be any law about what I, as an adult, can do to my own body, as long as it doesn't affect anyone else.
