Beer is not a drug

[NothingSuS]

Beer is not a drug can we please have it moved to the food section

[VitaKaninen]

It is used as a drug in this game, that is why it is listed as such. If you are drinking it for food, then you are using it wrong.

I think he just means the category for storage/stockpiles. Because no one keeps beer in the medicine cabinet...

He's just asking for a storage category change. Similar to how the Desserts in Vanilla expanded are used by pawns pretty much the same as beer is. The Dessert consumption allowance can be configured in the drug policy, but they are under "food" when it comes to storage.

Beer is food and shouldn't be used as drug

Beer is alcoholic therefore a drug. Weird there is no stronger alcohols but whatever.

[Khan Boyzitbig of Mercia]

Beer is a recreational drug, one of the oldest drugs used by mankind.

[Aranador]

By the definition of what a drug is, Alcohol is a drug. But maybe you are drinking ginger beer, and thats OK !

[Veylox]

Beer is a drug, by definition

I guess so but beer is weak piss so not really drug

[IchigoMait]

Alcohol was not meant to be consumed just whenever you want, like cigarettes were meant to be use as a medication.
Some peeps/corpos just found a way to legalise addicting stuff for mass use. Money/power does whatever it wants.

Food is something you can't live without, beer/alcohol is something you don't need ever to exist, unless for medical reasons.

Learn what actually means the word food.

Ideology really should have allowed us more freedoms what is an acceptabls drug and what's not. Maybe ambrosia is fine but not beer, as an example.

All you guys saying beer is a drug should visit bavaria...beer is considered a stable food there...so for any space-bavarians beer should really be counted as food :P

And since everyone and their grandmother smoke pot in Berlin, weed is also not a drug but, I dunno, a vegetable (like Broccoli)?

Beer would be a subset of food. You can live without eating meat, but meat is still a food.

[VitaKaninen]

I don't think anyone is saying that beer can not be considered a food, but so can drugs since you ingest them.

Beer needs to go into only one category, so that it is not listed in multiple places, and it makes more sense to be classified as a drug in this game because that is how it is intended to be used.

To expand on this, beer was considered a safer beverage than most water before the 1800s because people could and would frequently get sick from the bacteria in still water, but the boiling part of fermenting beer made it especially safe. Early civilizations didn't know why beer was safe, but they observed it was and that gave it value along with the expected buzz.
