    I went back and forth on this.

    I have been been drunk enough to find myself walking on an empty road zig zagging back and forth. If a car comes and isn’t paying attention I could get hit.

    Now granted the car should be paying attention but I don’t think anyone here is going to argue drunkenly stumbling around the road is a good idea.

    So at that I feel it’s a fair warning but…

    That day I was stumbling I can’t imagine looking at the bottle and saying “oh DONT walk drunk in the road! Thanks bottle for saving my life!”

    So I don’t think it’s attacking us pedestrians but it is kinda silly and they’d be better of just slapping the “drink in moderation “ label we normally see and ignore.

      Not sure it is completely silly.
      You often see those labels beforehand and maybe think “Oh yeah, better organize something to get home or stay for the night.”
      And at least raises awareness about the negative effects of alcohol (there are several more warnings I have just learned from @[email protected]
