Serial killers enjoy murder, but that doesn't mean we necessarily want to encourage it.

I'm all for increasing the safety of nights out, but if it's got a corresponding increase in harmful or dangerous drinking behavior, that's a significant finding too.

The post you were responding to was trying to correct an over-correction. You've now introduced a superfluous over-correction.

To put it another way - you've disputed a point that nobody was making.

Normally we make a clear distinction between people harming themselves and people harming others, also known as "your freedom to swing your fist ends at my nose".

Binge drinking regularly harms others.
