"Why take the risk?"

You end up on video for drunkenness with police, and assuming they don't shoot you or beat the fuck out of you, the video still ends up on the internet.

The next day at work, you quickly get called in to talk to your manager and HR, and now you have to find a new job.

Time to find a new job! And in this market? Not worth the risk. Now companies are searching for New Hires on social media, and guess what? Your video pops up.

This is why people stay at home. Nobody trusts one another, or most of the institutions.

I was going to disagree with you as that hasn't been my experience, but I think you're actually on to something. The younger generation doesn't drink as much as they used to. I'm sure I would have thought twice about some of the things I did in college if every person present had the potential to film me and post it on the internet, ending my career before it even started. It's better prevention than DARE or prohibition could ever be- the risk of having one single mistake recorded and available for everyone to see for the rest of your life.

You’d have to be trashed and making a huge scene for that to ever play out like that.

Yeah, some people can't handle alcohol very well.
