The German government wants new, stricter alcohol rules to protect young people: maybe no more “accompanied drinking” for 14- to 15-year-olds, less booze in checkout aisles and gas stations, and possibly raising the drinking age to 18. The alcohol industry is panicking, lobbying hard, and warning everyone not to confuse normal drinking with alcoholism. The government used to defend German drinking traditions, but now they talk more about health risks and individual responsibility. Still, don’t expect Germany to go dry—the beer kegs are staying. The fight is between public health types and old beer-loving tradition.

Idiocy, really! What should this be now? They want to destroy our last bit of German culture, sneaky under the pretense of “protecting youth.” Always this talk of “health dangers”—paper-pushers in Brussels or Berlin decide what’s “risky” while every village knows a beer after work calms your nerves. And now the industrial goons in Berlin come crawling to the government, crying about declining sales, but do you think they’ll stand up for ordinary people’s right to a Feierabendbier? Not a chance, fat cats only care if their cash dries up! The same politicians who cheer with a Maßkrug at Volksfest want to outlaw “accompanied drinking,” which stank anyway because no parent lets their fourteen-year-old gulp down beer at family lunch—that’s just pretext for more control! First, it’s “move alcohol from the checkout,” then they raise the taxes, count every drop, and next they’ll decide we should all drink almond milk in public!

Ha, and the official argument—some “science” says every sip will kill you! Heard it a thousand times, right after “climate disaster,” “pandemic”, and other old cow droppings! You see what’s going on? It’s about yanking more regulations, shifting blame, and ramming through intrusive rules while everyone sleeps. Just look at Saxony—think people here need mother-state telling us what’s healthy? People lived for hundreds of years with Schnaps and Bier und didn’t drop dead! Don’t let them fool you—they want to docile us, take away everything German, tradition, and free will, and hand more money to global Pharma and their own buddies. Schäm dich, Berlin! If you let them, soon you’ll need an app just to buy Wein at the corner shop. That’s where we’re headed. Don’t buy their crap—prost and Feierabend for all!
